-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello. I am just new to debian LInux after spending some time on redhat and mandrake. Debian is cool but I have just one important question. I just installed debian 3.0r1 woody to my machine with bf24 option so I have 2.4.18 kernel on my machine right now. Fine..but I would like to know if there are some patches in this kernel as I know there were some exploits for <2.4.21rc2 using ptrace technik. When I do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade nothing with kernel happen. When I do dpkg -l | grep kernel nothing like kernel image is there neither /boot/vmlinuz file doesn't seem to be owned by any package. In 08.06.03 I downloaded mentioned package according to this refer:
If "uname -r" shows: | Install this package: | 2.4.18-bf2.4 | kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 and made dpkg -i kernel-image-XXX when I do dpkg -l | grep kernel I can see my kernel here: kernel-image-2 2.4.18-5woody1 Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 (bf va and when I do uname -r I see: 2.4.18-bf2.4 So my question is: IS MY KERNEL SECURE AND NOT VULNERABLE ? Thank you very much for each answer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+5Qs9mVxi/0Pw2OoRAooQAJ9sgb+uvikaNWQ1+5w/8Q6J5zjwSgCdGUWV l275DDHmJ7lMOrJc5iPL4Z8= =Z4VC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
