From your run-down above, may I take it that the bug could be exploited, if a host was running kernel 2.4.25 and below? Although it is now removed, I would be interested to know. > As Shaun pointed out, if this code was present it > could have been a security > issue, but as the code is no longer present, this is > a non-issue. I guess if this is exploitable, then the message is to upgrade to 2.4.26 :) Thank you for your time. Shaun. ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
