Hi all,
so here we go, 2.2.26 final. I am very proud to announce this because it fixes
several of security bugs including the last mremap() bug, the longer known
hashing exploit possibility in the network stack and /dev/rtc leakage.
I encourage all 2.2 kernel users to update.
Please send me all fixes/patches/etc. I've forgotton for 2.2.27-pre/rc
inclusion.
Have fun :)
