Hi,

As most of you probably already know, a local root exploit was released yesterday which affects kernels from 2.6.17 to 2.6.24.1. Is there an official patch for dom0 and domU kernels, or can the backport of the official kernel patch be used on these kernels?

Hi, thanks for reminding this exploit, as far as I can see, there's no
kernel patch at all available. The GIT Repository also shows no real
solution.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue _now_ ?

cheers

Stephan
