Fixed in 2.4.9-7.5 or later. Was the fix in the acenic module or does the fix require a kernel upgrade? Is it possible to stay at the 2.4.9-7 kernel and install the fix? The fix was local to the acenic driver and techincally doesn't really require the upgrade to 2.4.9-13 (and we have a fixed module available). However using 2.4.9-13 is recommended due to the known remote exploit.in older kernels :( Where can I obtain the fixed acenic module? If IBM can live with serious VFS and remotely exploitable bugs, get the driver from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/rhl72/acenic/ however Red Hat *really* recommends against using 2.4.9-7. Thanks. The fixed acenic module will be used by the IBM preload team, but customers will be advised to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.9-13. Despite the known bugs, where can I obtain the fixed acenic module for the 2.4.9-7 kernel? ask your TAO contact in Red Hat |
