Hi guys,
I am putting together a database of errata for Linux 2.4.x. It will have individual patches for each major bug (at the moment thats just security flaws) and a mega-patch for each version. I am starting on kernel 2.4.9 for no other reason as this is what I currently use...
This is what I have so far for 2.4.9: 1. Netfilter mac address matching bug 2. ptrace race condition 3. symlink DoS 4. syncookie/netfilter bug 5. Netfilter FTP conntrack bug (can someone confirm this ??)
I have patches only for item 1 at the moment. I can rip out the patch for 3 and possibly 4. If there is interest I will post a URL to them here.
Does anyone here know of any other issues in this kernel (or newer kernels) or have access to any of the patches I am missing? You can mail patches to me directly if they are big or you feel they are irrelivant to the list.
Thanks
