Re: [cobalt-security] Problems with 2.2.19 kernel. Are cobalt kernels patched?

[ProServe - Peter Batenburg <peter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

I have to correct you there. It is a new bug, and not an old one. openwall
is one of the best kernel dev. group when it comes to security. And this
has only been released today.
I think you should give it better study and revise your security policy's.
Maybe you could check diff's and see what they have changed? Or check with
kernel mailing lists?

Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards,
