Re: Linux 2.4.19-rmk7 released

Please note that I highly recommend people upgrade to this version of the
kernel, especially so if you're running a multi-user ARM machine.

Even non-multi-user ARM machines should move to this version - the hole
provides an easy method to break out of a non-root user (eg, apache or
anonymous ftp daemon userid) into root, and take control of the system.
