Linux 2.6.16.53 Kernel Released
Posted by Michael Larabel on July 26, 2007
If you're still using the Linux 2.6.16 kernel branch, the Linux 2.6.16.53 release is now available on kernel mirrors. The Linux 2.6.16.53 kernel has a security fix for a remotely triggerable NULL dereference. Among the other fixes include an IEEE-1394 forgotten dereference, array indexing fix in ntfs_init_locked_inode(), and fixing a netpoll deadlock in 8139too. The Linux 2.6.16.53 release announcement can be read on the LKML. Earlier this week the Linux 2.6.23-rc1 kernel was also released.
