Comment 8 for bug 164231

Hi Philip,

I apologize for any lack of communication/updates regarding your report. The effort and time you have invested in getting this issue reosolved has not been overlooked and has been extremely helpful to us. I hope I can answer some of your questions:

1) Yes this bug has been confirmed and is a security issue.
2) Yes, a member of the kernel team is actively backporting this fix to Gutsy. For some reason I thought they had already posted a comment and updated you on this report.
3) I'll nudge the kernel team again to post a comment here regarding the current status.

Again, thank you so much for your help and your continued intersted in getting this resolved.
