Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2012-11-01 20:42:37 UTC
Nominating as NTH for F18 Beta; it's a security bug in kernel, that's on the path that can't be fixed entirely by an update (vuln will still be in installer and live images).

Comment 8 Jaroslav Reznik 2012-11-01 20:48:58 UTC
+1 to NTH as it's security issue and can't be fixed by update.

Comment 9 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2012-11-01 21:24:07 UTC
+1 to NTH as it's security issue and can't be fixed in the installer without updating the kernel there.

Comment 10 Tim Flink 2012-11-01 21:29:04 UTC
+1 NTH as it's a security issue that can't be fixed by an update

THat makes +4 (assuming +1 from Adam), moving to AcceptedNTH

Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2012-11-08 09:43:32 UTC
We have a much newer kernel stable now, for 17 and 18 at least. Closing. (Bodhi closing of bugs when updates go stable is currently broken).
