Linux 2.6.11.6

From: Chris Wright
Date: Fri Mar 25 2005 - 22:41:03 EST


With some pending security fixes it's time to for a -stable update. So,
here's 2.6.11.6, in the normal kernel.org places. This includes some
security fixes, esp. one which closes a local root exploit in bluetooth.

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
2.6.11.5 and 2.6.11.6, as it is small enough to do so.


thanks,
-chris
