Contains a one line patch to fix that local exploit in the net.c code those guys were making a big deal about last week.

-       return sock->ops->sendpage(sock, page, offset, size, flags);
+      return kernel_sendpage(sock, page, offset, size, flags);

Yes indeed, but it is not a security related update or is it ?
