Yes. That is true big. But only for untrusted users and opened ssh
shells. No problems for localy working users, and if You are the only
one user on your coLinux. ;-)

Thanks for your watching.

Here is a kernel replacement:
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/releases/0.7.2/hotfix/

file: vmlinux-2.6.22-co-0.7.2-20080219.zip
You can simply replace the installed file "vmlinux" with that binary.

A full coLinux update with installer will follow.
