Subject: Linux 2.4.28-ow1 is out
Hi,
I've released Linux 2.4.28-ow1 a few days ago. (Apologies for the
delayed announcement.)
Linux 2.4.28, and thus 2.4.28-ow1, fixes a number of security-related
bugs, including the ELF loader vulnerabilities discovered by Paul
Starzetz (confirmed: ability for users to read +s-r binaries;
potential: local root), a race condition with reads from Unix domain
sockets (potential local root), smbfs support vulnerabilities
discovered by Stefan Esser (confirmed: remote DoS by a malicious smbfs
server; potential: remote root by a malicious smbfs server). More
information on these vulnerabilities can be found here:

The updated patch is available at:

Owl-current and Owl 1.1-stable have been updated to include Linux
2.4.28-ow1 as the recommended kernel.
