A security hole has been found that does not affect the default
configuration of Red Hat Linux, but it can affect some custom
configurations of Red Hat Linux 7.1. The bug is specific
to the Linux 2.4 kernel series. Aside from the fix, countless bugfixes
have been applied to this kernel as a result of code-audits by the
MC project of the Stanford University and others.
