Linux Kernel 2.6.22.7 has been released. The new version contains a single security bugfix for the x86_64 architecture.

We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.22.7 kernel. It contains a single security bugfix for the x86_64 architecture. There is potential for local privilege escalation, so all x86_64 users are certainly encouraged to upgrade.

CVE-2007-4573: x86_64: Zero extend all registers after ptrace in 32bit entry path.

I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.22.6 and 2.6.22.7
