Hi Fabio, are you talking about CAN-2005-0757 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0757 ? If so the fix is in SVN, awaiting release. If not, can you give me some more information on the bug and a minimal fix for it? If its a security bug, which it sounds like it is, we should update the code if possible. Otherwise, 2.4 is really in maintenence mode for Sarge, so you might be best to try one of the newer kernels (e.g. 2.6.12) in unstable. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
