-stable: Linux 2.6.16.26

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

This should fix the reported issue of NetworkManager dying when
using the 2.6.16.25 kernel release. All users of the 2.6.16 kernel
are recommended to upgrade to this kernel, as it fixes a publicly
known security issue that can provide root access to any local user
of the machine.

I’ll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch
between 2.6.16.25 and 2.6.16.26, as it is small enough to do
so.

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,

greg k-h
