repositoryhttp://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/myoung/dom0-kernel/
It includes fixes for the recent x86_64 local root exploit.
I also have a temporary test build xen-4.0.1-1.fc13.1 for Fedora 13 at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2478501 . This is
slightly misnamed as it is actually of 4.0.2-rc1-pre and includes the
fixes above. Note that he build system will delete those RPMs
automatically after a week or so.
I'm trying these two under f13, and not getting past udev starting on
the pv_ops kernel. (Xen oops) The non-xen kernel works fine on this
hardware. A pv_ops version from back around January was working well for
me, but I wanted to grab the x86_64 multilib-problem patched version.
That brought me to upgrade my xen-* versions, and f12 to f13.
The top of the stack has 'xen_force_evtchn_callback' on it. I see
udev's [OK] message, and then it very reliably crashes (I can get it to
tell me it's going down for reboot with a three-finger salute, but
nothing really happens).
Is a serial console the only way to get a good Xen log? Looking at this
board, I think I need to take the heatsink off the CPU to get at the
serial header, so I haven't tried yet...
