Hi all.  There is a local root exploit in the Linux kernel.  It reportedly
effects 2.2->2.6 inclusive.  Upgrade to the latest kernel in your stable
tree (for 2.4 this is 2.4.24).

I don't normally post advisories like this but Bugtraq seems to be dormant
at the moment and it's worth getting this out.

Rob
