Stable kernels 2.6.27.27 and 2.6.30.2
[Kernel] Posted Jul 20, 2009 13:05 UTC (Mon) by corbet
The 2.6.27.27 and 2.6.30.2 stable kernel updates are available.
There are a number of fixes in these releases, several of which are
security-related. Among other things, the
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag has been added and
setuid programs lose the ability to map page zero.
Update: some users are reporting boot failures with both kernel
updates; there may be yet another set of updates coming in the near future.
