Description Tobias Sager 2006-02-07 01:45:44 UTC

See URL for release info. The kerneldiff is a oneliner:
http://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?file=%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fv2.6%2Fincr%2Fpatch-2.6.15.2-3.bz2;z=2

Release note:
"This contains a single security fix (CVE-2006-0454) which can potentially
be used as remote DoS exploit."

Semms pretty major as a kernel bump with a single change is not very common.

Sorry, wrong product. Visibility can be public as well (I do not have the rights to change it though).

Comment 2 Tobias Sager 2006-02-07 01:48:24 UTC

Sorry, just found an existing bug.
