These affect kernel 2.6.17+

Seeing as these security vulnerabilities are local-root exploits that are trivial to induce, and that most distro's have now issued updated kernel patches, when can we expect the linode kernel images to be updated, and what notification will there be so we can do managed reboots?

CVE-2008-600
CVE-2008-0009
CVE-2008-0010
Linux Kernel Mailing List
Ubuntu bug #190587

Ahh, I didn't notice that since the title didn't have a CVE reference. I expect the updated Xen images will be along shortly, too.
