Hi,
Here goes the second release canditate of 2.4.28.
It contains a network update (which is composed of several
smaller changes – IPVS, SCTP, Netfilter), a collection of ACPI
bugfixes, a SMBFS client buffer overflow fix (which is very hard to
exploit – the attacker needs to control packets from the server),
amongst others.
This is going to be become 2.4.28 if nothing bad shows up.
Please help with testing!
