Kudos to all involved in the rapid response. But. Information on patching this vulnerability is not available front and center in many of the places you would expect: kernel.org front page, debian.org front page, covered on planet.debian.org but without a pointer to the patch, and so on. So this post provides a subject line for Google to find, and for good measure mentions the word vulnerability. Also, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464953 I think many users would first go to kernel.org on a day like today, as I did. Nothing to see there. We could do a way better job of getting the word out. Patch attached as posted above by Pekka. For the mortals among us: cd linux-2.6.recent && patch <fix.vmsplice.exploit.patch -p1 Regards, Daniel
