Subject: Linux 2.6.18.6
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 16:48:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061219004824.GN10475@sequoia.sous-sol.org> (raw)

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.18.6 kernel.
An assortment of important fixes with one security related fix that is
associated with less common bluetooth hardware:

1dca7c28: Bluetooth: Add packet size checks for CAPI messages (CVE-2006-6106)

The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.18.5 and 2.6.18.6, as it is small enough to do so.
                                                                                
The updated 2.6.18.y git tree can be found at:                                  
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git 
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:                    
        www.kernel.org/git/                                                     

thanks,
-chris
