[wellylug] vmsplice local root exploit

[Jethro Carr]

hi all,

Anyone running a production server is probably already aware of this,
but just in-case, here's a notification. 

There is a new kernel local user root privilege exploit in public,
affecting Linux kernels 2.6.17 -> 2.6.24.1.

Full details can be found here:
