Yes it looks so!

But I don't understand why? Don't grsecurity use some pathes from Open Wall
and if kernels with Open Wall patches is not vulnerable why are mine with
grsecurity that?


I just saw that there are mixed reports on the grsecurity forum
http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?t=702 if kernel with grsecurity is
vuln. or not.

grsecurity 1.9.13 for 2.4.24 won't patch cleanly to 2.4.25 and 1.9.14 pre-release
wont compile the kernel.

Guess i shuting down remote access until its sorted out.
