Can you enlighten us as to why it is "not needed" ? I haven't seen any
followups from Andi nor Davem to saying that.

David told me the patch is not needed and only 2.2.x and 2.4.0-pre are
affected.

David?

Credit for this patch really belongs to Ani Joshi. I just
resent it when I saw it was missing,

FYI:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18-pre6/kernel/drivers/net/acenic.o
depmod: pci_unmap_addr_set
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18-pre6/kernel/drivers/net/wan/comx.o
depmod: proc_get_inode

And I still needed to manually add
EXPORT_SYMBOL(waitfor_one_page);
in kernel/ksyms.c

David told me the patch is not needed and only 2.2.x and 2.4.0-pre are
affected.

David?

Correct. The 2.3.x/2.4.x branch of the code had the fix made in
revision 1.71 of net/ipv4/icmp.c which equates to August 8th, 2000
which equates to 2.4.0-test6-pre2 or -pre3. :-)

On the 2.2.x side, 2.2.18 has the fix. There is one, and only one
change, in that patch, to the file net/ipv4/icmp.c and it is the
fix in question.

It is really unfortunate that the bugtraq reporter failed to even
bother to mention what kernel he was using. It could have avoided a
lot of the confusion surrounding this (already fixed) bug.
