[Sheflug] Kernel 2.2.20 question

["Chris J/#6" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seeing as 2.2.20's been released, and Alan's not released the changelog yet, 
does anyone know if it fixes the deep-symlink and ptrace(3) vunerabilities of 
a few weeks back? If it does, I'll upgrade a remote box. If not, I'll leave 
2.2.19 on :)

Whether Alan does release the changelog or not I don't know, after all the 
talk in the linux-kernel list regarding the DMCA, etc.

I would upgrade normally, but as the 2.2 box is a an hour and a bit down the 
M1, if an upgrade goes wrong I'd rather not have to drive down and fix things 
up. Not that it's difficult, it's more the hassle :) Thus I only want to 
upgrade when essential.

I seem to recall the problem was fixed, but if anyone has a pointer or can 
confirm that, can ye let me know, ta.

Chris...
