It is now public knowledge that Linux 2.4.26 does indeed fix a local
root vulnerability:
http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0015-msfilter.txt
Linux 2.0.x and 2.2.x are unaffected.
Thus, if you're running a Linux 2.4.x kernel, it is highly recommended
that you upgrade to Linux 2.4.26-ow1.
The Openwall Linux kernel patch's web page and the Owl change log
entry have been updated with the vulnerability information.
Owl 1.1-stable has been updated to use Linux 2.4.26-ow1 as the kernel.
