Mais que raio será o Linux Kernel?

O Linux é o núcleo (kernel) de um sistema operativo compatível com Unix. Foi criado por Linus Torvalds em 1991 e subsequentemente desenvolvido com a ajuda de programadores de todo o mundo como software livre. [Mais]

Linux 2.2.26

Hi all,

so here we go, 2.2.26 final. I am very proud to announce this because it fixes
several of security bugs including the last mremap() bug, the longer known
hashing exploit possibility in the network stack and /dev/rtc leakage.

I encourage all 2.2 kernel users to update.

Please send me all fixes/patches/etc. I've forgotton for 2.2.27-pre/rc
inclusion.


Have fun


2.2.26
- ------
o   CAN-2004-0077: behave safely in case of do_munmap()   (Solar Designer)
     failures in mremap(2)
o   CAN-2003-0984: /dev/rtc can leak parts of kernel   (Solar Designer)
     memory to unprivileged users (2.4 backport)
o   CAN-2003-0244: hashing exploits in network stack   (David S. Miller)
o   update_atime() performance improvement (2.4 backport)   (Solar Designer)
o   ability to swapoff after a device file might      (Solar Designer)
     have been re-created
o   MAINTAINERS correction for Kernel 2.2 and 2.2 fixes   (me)
o   fixed some typos               (Solar Designer, me)



Expect my 2.2-secure tree updated within the next days.



Thanks/Kudos:

Linux 2.4.26.8

I've just released Linux 2.4.36.8.

It contains various fixes, 3 of which are for medium local security
issues. While not critical, it is suggested that 2.4.36 setups with
untrusted local users upgrade to 2.4.36.8.

The patch and changelog will appear soon at the following locations:
  ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/
  ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel...ch-2.4.36.8.bz2

Linux 2.6.26.7

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.26.7
kernel.

It contains a wide range of bugfixes, and all users of the 2.6.26 kernel
series are strongly encouraged to upgrade.

Actually, scratch that, you all should upgrade to the 2.6.27 kernel
series as soon as possible, as there will probably only be one more
2.6.26 kernel release, so starting to migrate now would be a very good
idea.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.26.6 and 2.6.26.7

The updated 2.6.26.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:

Linux 2.6.27.5

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.27.5
kernel.

It contains a wide range of bugfixes, and all users of the 2.6.27 kernel
series are strongly encouraged to upgrade.  Very strongly.  Did I
mention that you all should upgrade?  Seriously, what are you waiting
for?  Running those old kernel trees prior to .27?  Are you crazy?  You
really want to run this one.  It's all shiny new and has that lovely
new-kernel smell that we all know and love.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.27.4 and 2.6.27.5

The updated 2.6.27.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git

Linux 2.6.25.20

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.25.20
kernel.

It is the last release of the 2.6.25.y tree that I have planned to do.
the .25 tree has lasted a very long time (in the overall -stable
timeframe), and it's lifetime is pretty much over.  All users using the
2.6.25.y tree are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version, and
then consider how they are going to upgrade to the latest 2.6.27 version
soon.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.25.19 and 2.6.25.20

The updated 2.6.25.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/...y.git;a=summary

Linux 2.6.26.8

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.26.8
kernel.

It is the last release of the 2.6.26.y tree that I have planned to do.
All users using the 2.6.26.y tree are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
this version, and then consider how they are going to upgrade to the
latest 2.6.27 version soon.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.26.7 and 2.6.26.8

The updated 2.6.26.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/...y.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
