The exploit sinuspl.net/ptrace/isec-ptrace-kmod-exploit.c works on the last version of 2.2.19 released by SuSE.

The patch available on kernel.org appears to apply with no problems to this kernel, I did however remove the bit which updates the version to 2.2.25. I am still running this kernel on my SuSE 7.1 box and it seems to be happy with it. <SNIP>

The SuSE-supplied vmware modules crash vmware 2.0.4 (sorry but vmware went beyond anything acceptable for upgrade prices), but the latest patches to the module source and a recompile of that fixed that. Now vmware panics again on power-up, guess I just have to recompile the modules again (come to think of it, the kernel update will have overwitten the ones I compiled).

The vmware-setup.pl script should take care of that. Regards Hubba
