RE: [Xen-users] patch against general kernel NULL pointer vulnurability

["netz-haut - stephan seitz" <s.seitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I modified the original patch to fit into a recent linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
recently pulled from http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg 

It’s available at the same URL: 
http://www.schwarz-mode.de/files/xen-newer-stuff/

Regards,

Stephan
