We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.25.2 kernel.

It fixes one pretty nasty security bug.  All users of the 2.6.25 series
are strongly encouraged to upgrade.

Many thanks to Al Viro for finding and fixing this problem.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.25.1 and 2.6.25.2

The updated 2.6.25.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.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
