+2.2.27-rc1
+----------
+o   CAN-2004-0497: fixed missing DAC check on sys_chown   (Thomas Biege)
+o       CAN-2004-1016: fixed a buffer overflow vulnerability   (Paul Starzetz)
+          in the "__scm_send" function which handles the sending
+          of UDP network packets. A wrong validity check of the
+          cmsghdr structure allowed a local attacker to modify
+          kernel memory, thus causing an endless loop (DoS) or
+          possibly even root privilege escalation.
+o       CAN-2004-1333: fixed integer overflow in the vc_resize   (Georgi Guninski)
+          function allows local users to cause a denial of
+          service (kernel crash) via a short new screen value,
+          which leads to a buffer overflow. Make sure VC
+          resizing fits in s16.
+o       If the user makes ip_cmsg_send call ip_options_get   (Georgi Guninski)
+          multiple times, we leak kmalloced IP options data.
+o       fixed moxa serial bound checking issue         (Alan Cox)
+o   menu cleanups                  (me)
+
+
+
+
+2.2.27-pre2
+-----------
+o   A more correct fix to last mremap (2) bug      (Dan Yefimov/Solar Designer)
+o   renamed imho *bogus* _vsnprintf to vsnprintf      (me)
+o   fixed 'noexec' behaviour (2.4 backport)         (me)
+     from Ulrich Drepper
+
+
+
+2.2.27-pre1
+-----------
+o   fixed TCP keepalive bug               (Neal Cardwell)
+o       fixed tcp seq nr wrapping bug            (Ulrik De Bie)
+o   added cciss root translation table         (Eduard Bloch)
+o   VIA KL133/KM133 northbridge: vga console going crazy   (Roberto Biancardi)
+o   speedup 'make dep'               (Benoit Poulot-Cazajous)
+o   disabled MCE only on Pentiums by default (2.4 backport)   (Herbert Xu)
+     (boot with 'mce' if your MCE works as expected)
+o   skb_realloc_headroom() panics when new headroom is   (James Morris)
+     smaller than existing headroom
+o   invalid nh.raw use after free            (Julian Anastasov)
+o   fix a local APIC initaliziation ordering bug that   (Andrea Arcangeli)
+     triggers on the P4
+o   TSC calibration must be dynamic and not a compile   (Andrea Arcangeli)
+     time thing because gettimeofday is dynamic and it
+     depends on the TSCs to be in sync
+o   fix deadlock on shutdown in 8139too         (Herbert Xu)
+o   support for ELF executables which use an a.out format   (Solar Designer)
+     interpreter (dynamic linker) moved into a separate
+     configuration option and disabled by default
+o   fixed sys_utimes perm check according to sys_utim   (Al Viro)
+o   show us the saved kernel command line (2.4 backport)   (me)
+o   some whitespace cleanups, some coding style cleanups   (me)
+o   fixed some gcc warnings               (me)
+o   add PCI ID for 82820 NIC to eepro100 network driver   (me)
+o   move 'Network device support' near 'Networking options'   (me)
