Where can I find a Changelog for 2.2.20? I can't seem to find it anywhere on kernel.org.
For non US citizens its available on www.thefreeworld.net

Oh yeah, now I remember the fiasco behind it.

Thanks,
Dave

I am so really sorry to ask, but I simply do not understand...

How can it be that the patch is US-compatible, but the Changelog is not?

After all the Changelog is a summary of the changes in the patch...

Basically, the politicians can't read the patch, but they might be able to understand the summary...

Also, in many cases the change that fixes the security hole doesn't make exploit ideas obvious. While many times the security report includes the expliot itself.
