(FYI, a “local exploit” means that local shell users could potentially exploit a system. Sonic.net has not had any exploit issues, this is a preemptive fix) If you run Linux, it’s time to upgrade your kernels to 2.4.25 or newer. Many Linux distros will back-port the patches to earlier kernel revisions. -Kelsey
