Comment 10 for bug 242804

The last message in the kernel discussion regarding this bug (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/28/280) says that they're queueing the fix for 2.6.24-stable - how this translates to Ubuntu's 2.6.24-?? versioning I do not know.

I have not seen this bugfix listed in any of the CVEs for Hardy Heron linux-* updates, but it sure would be nice, as the affected servers are our LTS production boxes.

At some point I will try to download an Intrepid LiveCD and test it, but what I'm most interested in is fixing the kernels we have (ideally without custom compilation!)
