Hereby I wish to announce Linux-kernel v2.0.40, aka ``The Moss-covered Tortoise''. This release fixes several remote information-leaks, a few local exploits, possible group descriptor corruption for ext2fs, a few network related issues, a few SUS/LSB compliance issues, and various other minor changes. A complete changelog can be found at the same places the kernel itself can be downloaded.
This upgrade is of medium urgency, and is a recommended upgrade if you experience problems. This kernel is only maintained, not developed, and hence, if you miss support for hardware/software or any feature, then you should consider upgrading to either the latest v2.4.xx kernel or the latest v2.6.xx kernel.
The kernel can be found at:
ftp.xx.kernel.org (where xx is your country-code)
Complete tarballs (compressed with gz and bzip2 respectively):
/pub/linux/kernel/v2.0/linux-2.0.40.tar.gz /pub/linux/kernel/v2.0/linux-2.0.40.tar.bz2
As a patch to be applied on top of the v2.0.39 kernel-tree (compressed with gz and bzip2 respectively):
/pub/linux/kernel/v2.0/patch-2.0.40.gz /pub/linux/kernel/v2.0/patch-2.0.40.bz2
Note that some mirrors might not keep both compression-formats.
