Kernel.org Mirrors

Full Changelog

With some pending security fixes it's time to for a -stable update. So, here's 2.6.11.6, in the normal kernel.org places. This includes some security fixes, esp. one which closes a local root exploit in bluetooth.

The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.11.5 and 2.6.11.6, as it is small enough to do so.

thanks,
-chris
