Re: [PLUG] kernel bug - gain root priv

[Fred Stluka via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Jeff,

Thanks for the tip!  I especially appreciate your summary of the
problem.  Saying "could allow local attackers" is VERY useful to
me.  For servers where I'm the only local user, I don't have to
worry about this one.

Interesting reading in any case.

Thanks!
