    SubjectLinux 2.6.18.6
    We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.18.6 kernel.
    An assortment of important fixes with one security related fix that is
    associated with less common bluetooth hardware:

    1dca7c28: Bluetooth: Add packet size checks for CAPI messages (CVE-2006-6106)

    The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.

    I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
    2.6.18.5 and 2.6.18.6, as it is small enough to do so.

    The updated 2.6.18.y git tree can be found at:
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git
    and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
    www.kernel.org/git/

    thanks,
    -chris
