Subject: New mremap vulnerability

Hi SD,
	After reviewing the 2.4.24 -> 2.4.25 patch, it appears to me
that those of us using either the 2.4.23-ow2 or 2.4.24-ow1 kernel
patches are not affected by this latest mremap security bug.  Can you
confirm this?  In fact, it looks like the code from the Openwall kernel
patches in 2.4.25.

Thanks,
