Comment 17 for bug 190587

Hi guys,

Just got a question in regards to the above theory, you have mentioned that kernel 2.6.17-2.6.24 is affected whereas a normal user have the ability to login as root with no password and sudo command,so my question here is that I have two version of Kernel on two separate machines 2.6.15-26 and 2.6.16 are these kernel affected as well.

If they are what patch should we follow to stop this from happening

It will be please of some expert answer my query as I am new to Linux and security topics

Thanks in advanced
