Linux 2.4.36.8

Linux 2.4.36.8

[Willy Tarreau]

I've just released Linux 2.4.36.8.

It contains various fixes, 3 of which are for medium local security
issues. While not critical, it is suggested that 2.4.36 setups with
untrusted local users upgrade to 2.4.36.8.

The patch and changelog will appear soon at the following locations:
