2.6.22 patch required

Postby kamranalilakhnavi » Sat Mar 22, 2008 7:35 pm

Hello Everyone,
I have upgraded my kernel to 2.6.22, now I need grsecurity patch for it. I wasn't able to get it from form grsecurity.net. Please provide me URL/link to download patch for 2.6.22.

Thanks.

Regards,
Kami

Only the latest stable release, and the latest test patch releases are supported, which is why when the test patch is updated, the previous one is usually removed.

There are some sites that cache older grsecurity patches, but I wouldn't recommend you use them, because if you encounter a problem you'll probably be asked to upgrade anyway. One such site I know of has quite a few old grsecurity patches, but doesn't have 2.6.22. It does have a 2.6.21.5 one:

http://www.gotroot.com/downloads/ftp/li ... 2032.patch

Any reason why you can't use the latest kernel? (2.6.24.3) My best guess is you use this kernel because opensuse 10.3 uses the 2.6.22 kernel. I wouldn't recommend patching a vendor kernel with grsecurity, as you're going to run into patch conflicts.
