      [Security] Kernel bug allows change of group id of files

      Read the advisory from RedHat here:
      http://www.suse.de/de/security/2004_20_kernel.html

      SuSE´s here:
      http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-354.html

      Patches will prolly come soon on www.kernel.org as well

      Thank you- although the links are put in reverse order...
      The bug seems to affect both 2.4.X and 2.6.X kernels.
      SuSE has already issued patched kernels, and unofficial Mandrake ones too
      ( http://mandrake.contactel.cz/people/...andrake/kernel )
      Those Mandrake kernels are sds - prepatched (= quasi experimental), so might not appeal to anyone... the last issued one on every category includes the vulnerability patch.
      Personally I prefer to build my own kernels (currently for Mandrake 10.0 and Slackware 9.0), and I will patch all of them as soon as the official patch appears on kernel.org
