Subject: Re: CVE request: multiple kernel stack memory disclosures
I'll omit descriptions here to save space, since they were already
provided. I'll keep the same organization as last time, just to make
it easier. Issues that haven't been fixed yet are for the most part
planned for 2.6.37. Patches were submitted for all issues, so it's
mostly just a matter of time.
