Git repository through the gitweb interface:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-v2.4.36.y.git

It fixes 3 medium vulnerabilities :
  - sit: Add missing kfree_skb() on pskb_may_pull() failure (CVE-2008-2136)
  - sparc: Fix mmap VA span checking (CVE-2008-2137)
  - old buffer overflow in moxa driver (CVE-2005-0504)

The remaining patches are minor backports and fixes.
Given the nature of the vulnerabilities, it is recommended to upgrade.

Willy
