This code is intended to build with gcc 2.7.2 and egcs 1.1.2. Binary Compatibility Linux 2.2.19 should on the whole be fully binary compatible with old modules. In general you should not assume binary compatibility between kernel object modules in Linux. Security Notes Linux 2.2.19 contains significant security fixes as a result of third party testing and auditing. We are very grateful to those who contributed work and reports to this effort, in particular to OpenWall and to Chris Evans.
Fixes hangs on some obscure kit.
Normally not exploitable but if set to autoload and unload they could be abused. Classifier Fix a possible hang in the classifier code. Sockfilter Boundary cases in sockfilter could be abused. A code path existed where the shm code would scribble on very recently freed memory. It is not clear that this was actually exploitable.
