Parent article: November: the month of kernel bugs

The only fix that seems to have made its way into the kernel so far is for a an ext3/ext4 bug that was found prior to the MoKB

I sent a fix for the cramfs/zlib oops to the LKML on 4th November. This has made its way into the latest -mm tree (2.6.19-rc5-mm2).

I have also fixed the Squashfs oops, and I have made the patch available on RedHat's bugzilla entry for this bug. These fixes will also be in the next Squashfs release (3.2).

That means 3 of the 6 Linux bugs are fixed.

So far, there do not seem to be patches for any of the MoKB reported issues posted to the linux kernel mailing list
