We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.16.6 kernel. 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 2.6.16.5 and 2.6.16.6, as it is small enough to do so. The updated 2.6.16.y git tree can be found at: rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: www.kernel.org/git/ thanks, greg k-h -------- Makefile | 2 arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c | 17 ++ arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c | 8 - arch/m32r/kernel/m32r_ksyms.c | 4 arch/m32r/kernel/setup.c | 12 - arch/m32r/kernel/smpboot.c | 19 +- arch/m32r/lib/Makefile | 4 arch/m32r/lib/getuser.S | 88 ------------- arch/m32r/lib/putuser.S | 84 ------------ arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c | 10 - arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c | 2 drivers/block/cciss.c | 96 +++++++------- drivers/char/tlclk.c | 36 ++--- drivers/edac/Kconfig | 2 drivers/net/sky2.c | 4 drivers/net/sky2.h | 1 drivers/usb/serial/console.c | 2 drivers/usb/storage/Kconfig | 3 fs/cifs/cifsencrypt.c | 36 +++-- fs/ext3/resize.c | 1 fs/fuse/file.c | 8 - fs/partitions/check.c | 5 fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_iops.c | 3 include/asm-m32r/smp.h | 3 include/asm-m32r/uaccess.h | 266 +++++++++++++++++----------------------- include/linux/mm.h | 5 include/linux/page-flags.h | 8 + include/net/ip.h | 1 ipc/shm.c | 2 kernel/power/process.c | 3 kernel/ptrace.c | 7 - kernel/signal.c | 5 kernel/sys.c | 14 +- mm/page_alloc.c | 31 ++-- net/atm/clip.c | 42 ++++-- net/bridge/br_netfilter.c | 13 + net/ipv4/ip_output.c | 6 37 files changed, 360 insertions(+), 493 deletions(-) Summary of changes from v2.6.16.5 to v2.6.16.6 ============================================== Ananiev, Leonid I: ext3: Fix missed mutex unlock Andrew Morton: RLIMIT_CPU: fix handling of a zero limit Brian Uhrain says: alpha: SMP boot fixes Greg Kroah-Hartman: Linux 2.6.16.6 Hirokazu Takata: m32r: security fix of {get, put}_user macros m32r: Fix cpu_possible_map and cpu_present_map initialization for SMP kernel Hugh Dickins: shmat: stop mprotect from giving write permission to a readonly attachment (CVE-2006-1524) Laurent MEYER: powerpc: fix incorrect SA_ONSTACK behaviour for 64-bit processes Mark Bellon: MPBL0010 driver sysfs permissions wide open Mike Miller: cciss: bug fix for crash when running hpacucli Miklos Szeredi: fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages() Nathan Scott: Fix utime(2) in the case that no times parameter was passed in.
