====================================


outlines the security vulnerability.

I have fixed this for kernels used on antiX-15 and antiX-13,2

ie 4.0.5 (32 and 64 bit as well as libre) and 3.7.10 (32 bit)

Users are strongly recommended to upgrade via synaptic or apt-get.

4.0.5 version - linux-image-4.0.5-antix.3-xxxxxx
3.7.10 - linux-image-3.7.10-antix.8-486-smp
