As of this morning, the latest Kernel version in portage is 2.6.16-r12.
It seems that there is a different versioning / naming scheme used but
im not sure. Can someone please let me know how to respond, or point me
to appropriate reading so I can protect myself.
2.6.16-r12 is protected from this bug. From the ChangeLog:
*gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r12 (06 Jul 2006)
06 Jul 2006; Daniel Drake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r12.ebuild:
Update to Linux 2.6.16.24 for coredump privilege escalation security fix
However, there is a new security bug in the wild, with similar
implications. Keep an eye open for new kernel releases over the next few
hours.
