Hello

Reading Robert's message I felt confident this afternoon's upgrade to 2.6.15.7 was the safe choice. Unfortunately I checked according to Robert's message and found 2.6.15.7 was affected as well :

# grep "PAGE_SIZE" /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.7/fs/sysfs/file.c
BUG_ON(count > (ssize_t)PAGE_SIZE);
if (count >= PAGE_SIZE)
count = PAGE_SIZE;
#

I am no C expert, but this sounds like the CVE statement : "2.6.12 and further"
