The response I received at the briefing to that question was that only kernels 2.4-2.6 were affected. Prior versions were not under dispute. RickT On Sat, 23 Aug 2003 07:52:19 -0400 (EDT), Max Blanco <blanco-S8qYAnHmZTt34ZA5RureAJ4VBq8PJc8F at public.gmane.org> wrote :

Hi everyone,

This has been forwarded from the NewTLUG mailing list. Bill Traynor [the original poster] hasn't been able to send this to TLUG. Well, at least he and I haven't seen it show up on the list.

So I'm trying.

Can I read somewhere about how this issue affects the little guy? I have a 1995 distro of redhat. Does this affect me? What about if I have a 2.2 kernel built in 2000?

CLIC has been up in arms over the courtroom theatrics, but how about the substance? It hasn't been clear to me why I should care. (Sorry if that's a little blunt.)

If I read this right, as long as you stick to 2.4 kernel code, who cares?

Can you delete the offending 27 lines of code from the kernel and still make it crash proof and kickass...?
