[Grml] FYI, grml 0.7 kernel venerable

[T]

Hi

You may have known that the kernel that grml 0.7 uses is venerable.
Recently an official Debian Server was compromised because of it.

The venerable exists in the Linux kernel 2.6.13 up to versions before
2.6.17.4, and 2.6.16 before 2.6.16.24, both of which were released on
2006-07-06.

For details, check out

and
