Linux 2.6.15.3

From: Chris Wright
Date: Mon Feb 06 2006 - 20:33:17 EST


We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.15.3 kernel.
This contains a single security fix (CVE-2006-0454) which can potentially
be used as remote DoS exploit.

The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.15.2 and 2.6.15.3, as it is small enough to do so.

The updated 2.6.15.y git tree can be found at:
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chrisw/linux-2.6.15.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
www.kernel.org/git/

thanks,
-chris
