When an updated 8.1 kernel?

About three weeks ago SuSE delivered the wrong kernel as an update for the do_brk() vulnerability for SuSE 8.1. SuSE is shipped with a 2.4.19 kernel, but the update contains a 2.4.21 kernel which seems to be from SUSE 9.0. Because of the potential impact of the vulnerability, I can understand that such an error is made when customers are demanding updates yesterday. But things have calmed down now. So when is this mistake to be corrected? I'd very much like to patch my servers, but I can't because the updated (2.4.21) kernel isn't stable on them. I get kernel oopses, kernel BUGs, altogether slow I/O, kernel threads stuck in uninterruptable sleep, and crashes. Not good. -- Erik Hensema (erik@hensema.net)
