hi,
  Regarding the bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=253871
CAN-2004-0554 user application can hang the kernel
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=262540

it seems that this is also a bug in the 2.4.18 kernel, at least
according to this URL:

In this case this is a security problem for the kernel 2.4.18 pacakages
in stable IMHO, e.g. kernel-source-2.4.18

Is anyone working on a new security release for 2.4.18?

thanks
