It contains: - a fix for the posted problem - a revert of a patch in the last release that caused issues with partitions (the bk changelog shows this as a i2c issue, but that is a mistake as you can see from the real patch.) - addition of the SecurityBugs documentation - another security related fix that is already in 2.6.12-rc4. The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below. I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.11.8 and 2.6.11.9, as it is small enough to do so. thanks, greg k-h ---------- Documentation/SecurityBugs | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MAINTAINERS | 5 +++++ Makefile | 2 +- REPORTING-BUGS | 4 ++++ fs/binfmt_elf.c | 4 ++-- fs/partitions/msdos.c | 5 ----- kernel/exit.c | 2 -- 7 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) Summary of changes from v2.6.11.8 to v2.6.11.9 ============================================== Andrew Morton: o Remove bogus BUG() in kernel/exit.c Chris Wright: o Security contact info Greg Kroah-Hartman: o Cset exclude: khali@linux-fr.org[gregkh]|ChangeSet|20050430010004|65088 o fix Linux kernel ELF core dump privilege elevation o Linux 2.6.11.9 Jean Delvare: o I2C: Fix incorrect sysfs file permissions in it87 and via686a drivers - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
