*** Please type your report below this line *** Hi, today a serious bug in the Linux Kernel has been discovered and disclosed. It affects all 2.4 and 2.6 kernels since 2001 on all architectures. See here for more details: http://blog.cr0.org/2009/08/linux-null-pointer-dereference-due-to.html Hopefully this bug has already been patched: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e694958388c50148389b0e9b9e9e8945cf0f1b98 I'm pretty sure that you guys already know that, but it is really urgent to apply the patch and release an update for the linux-image packages. Thank you for your fantastic job.
