Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 2.6.36-rc5, released on September 20.
"Nothing really stands out. Except perhaps that Al has obviously been
looking at architecture sigreturn paths, and been finding problems, and Dan
Rosenberg has been finding places where we copy structures to user space
without having fully initialized them yet, leaking kernel stack contents.
And we had that annoying x86-64 32-bit compat syscall bug that needed
fixing for the _second_ time." See the announcement for the short
changelog, or the
full changelog for all the details.
Stable updates: the 2.6.27.54, 2.6.32.22 and 2.6.35.5 updates were released on September 20; they each contain a long list of important fixes. (Log in to post comments)
