More information, since Bruce forgot: * applies to all kernels from 2.6.17 to 2.6.24.1 * allows any user to gain root privileges * depends on whether your distribution includes certain modules or not: ubuntu's kernel is not vulnerable, but most other distros are. Expect to see security fixes from your vendor in the next day or so, and apply them! John
