I've just released Linux 2.4.37.7.
It contains various fixes, among which a few null pointer
dereferences which may become security issues on systems where
mmap_min_addr is not set.
Systems with untrusted local users should upgrade, other ones
may wait.
The patch and changelog will appear soon at the following locations:
