Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 3.11-rc5, released on August 11. Linus said:
"Sadly, the numerology doesn't quite work out, and while releasing
the final 3.11 today would be a lovely coincidence (Windows 3.11 was
released twenty years ago today), it is not to be. Instead, we have
3.11-rc5." Along with the usual fixes, this prepatch contains the linkat() permissions change discussed
in the August 8 Kernel Page.
Stable updates: 3.10.6, 3.4.57, and 3.0.90 were released on August 11. The 3.10.7, 3.4.58, and 3.0.91 updates are in the review process as of this writing; they can be expected sometime on or after August 15. (Log in to post comments)
Kernel release status Posted Aug 15, 2013 6:06 UTC (Thu) by alonz (subscriber, #815) [Link] Looks like almost no-one in the entire community is worried by the linkat() changes…(I had spent some hours poring over Android userspace sources and looking for potential vulnerabilities, without success. And it looks like the people who do know where the vulnerabilities are hiding would rather keep them secret until the disclosure can make them the most political gain.)
