1 There was discussion on /. today about there being a potential bug which
2 allows users to obtain root privileges. Apparently its been fixed in BSD
3 but may still be a problem in RedHat distributions. It is supposed to be
4 fixed in the kernel but only as of 2.6.32.
5
6 Is the fix being back-ported to 2.6.31 or should people plan/attempt to run
7 the kernel directly from kernel.org sources before they make it into the
8 Gentoo releases?
