CVE-2007-3848:
Linux kernel 2.4.35 and other versions allows local users to
send arbitrary signals to a child process that is running at
higher privileges by causing a setuid-root parent process to
die, which delivers an attacker-controlled parent process
death signal (PR_SET_PDEATHSIG).

Update to 2.6.22.5-rc1. Highlights:
ACPI fixes.
Fix wrong temperature reports with some sensor chips.
Four sky2 ethernet driver fixes.
Fix detection of an AMD chip bug.
Revert serial driver patch that broke port detection.
