Update Information:

Update to linux 2.6.22.3 and 2.6.22.4:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.3
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.4

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.

Plus:
Additional sky2 fix for some motherboards.
