Most of these fixes concern minor security issues which have been backported from 2.6 (mostly local DoSes). In my opinion, only people with local users might consider upgrading, if those people still exist ! The patch and changelog will appear soon at the following locations: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/patch-2.4.37.1.bz2 ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ChangeLog-2.4.37.1 Git repository: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.4.37.y.git http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.4.37.y.git Git repository through the gitweb interface: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.4.37.y.git Reminder for those who are still unaware of it : 2.6.27 will be maintained for years and is already quite stable. If you're still running 2.4 without any particular reason, please give 2.6.27-stable a try and report any regression, should you face any.
