Why does it take so long for RHEL ? Just a question, not a troll or
something.
1. ask them
it was a question, not a troll (bis).
However, you are asking the wrong people ... we have no idea.
Also ... it *_IS_* trolling (or at least certainly silly) to post that
Debain had the patch and RHEL doesn't ... so let's make RHEL be
Debain. Fedora also has the patch released and RHEL doesn't ... I
don't want RHEL to be Fedora either.
hu ?
Well you are right, my question was a bit silly but this thread was
closed (for me at least) yesterday with Mr Van Dolson's last
intervention. Why do you come out now from nowhere like "hey troll
spotted! you are silly" or what ?
It's just that it is a hard time for rhel, the 1.6 NFS issue then this
one. And now we are going to have to choice between being exploitable or
a decent nfs support.
Maybe you are using the wrong distro ... I want stable kernels on my
servers, so I'll take the extra day of testing. For people who do not
want stable and tested software, switch distros.
And the "change distro" speech is quite puerile, you think we all have
the choice ? or that we can switch dozen of servers like this ?
I can imagine that this exploit is not dramatic for a lot of people. But
in certain case, like in scholar environment, where we have a lot of
untrusted user's accounts, something like this IS problematic.
[...]
Rest assured that as soon as the upstream people have a patch, so will
the CentOS team.
And thank you for your work.
However, we are not going to rush a non tested patch out the door.
There are patches listed on the upstream bug, if you (figurative ...
meaning anyone who wants to not wait) really want to integrate that
into your own kernels in the interim then please do.
I did, for the record: http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/
BEWARE that it will remove ALL the older kernels.
