  Local rootexploit in the Linux kernel
Linux Posted by Beat Rubischon on Wednesday February 18, @05:00PM
from the the-second-this-year dept.
There is a new problem in all Linux kernels up to 2.2.25, 2.4.24 and 2.6.2. It affects also do_mremap() but is completly different to the last bug in those function.
Update: All servers and managed workstations are rebootet.

Be sure to upgrade your personal workstations and notebooks!
