    Here's another one:
    Jason Baron: 2.4.28-pre3 tty/ldisc fixes
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109604869516678&w=2

    AFAICT the above patch is the fix for:
    CAN-2004-0814: Linux terminal layer races
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=109837405025108&w=2

    This patch seems to be working fine for me, but I don't know if anyone
    else has really tested it at all, nor do I know (one way or the other)
    if the security issues are serious enough to apply this for 2.4.28-rc
    and not 2.4.29-pre. Also, I'm running on a single-processor system with
    no HyperThreading, so if there are any SMP-related issues then I have no
    way of experiencing them.

    Anyway, since it's a security fix (unless I'm mistaken), I guess it's
    worth considering for inclusion...
