We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.16.25 kernel.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.16.24 and 2.6.16.25, as it is small enough to do so.

Why does the patch make it to linux-kernel-announce and the nice announcement, like this one, not? The short patch description is far more useful, since if it's to something I don't use I don't need to apply or examine it.

The updated 2.6.16.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
www.kernel.org/git/

thanks,

Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
