We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.22.18
kernel.

It fixes one thing, CVE-2008-0600.

All users of the 2.6.22 series, with untrusted local users are strongly
encouraged to upgrade.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.22.17 and 2.6.22.18

The updated 2.6.22.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.22.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2....

thanks,

greg k-h
