Reading through Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt, http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.html and http://www.hpenterprisesecurity.com/vulncat/en/vulncat/cpp/use_after_free.html both patches seem relevant enough (concerning data integrity filesystem-wise and security) to be included for the stable branch Thanks & Regards Matt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
