There are a lot of local root exploits in Linux the past few years. But ever since Linux dropped the stable-unstable version numbering scheme, different distributions ship a wide variety of kernels + their own patches instead of "the latest kernel" because the latest may not necessarily be stable. How do I find out which local root exploits my distribution's kernel is vulnerable against, and how do I find out how quickly they get fixed? I'm on Debian 6 right now.

If you read the article it says that only versions >=2.6.39 are vulnerable.
