[lug] SuSE Security Announcement

I just got the email from SuSE about the Kernel brk() vulnerability.  
Going through the instructions in the email I see that kernel

k_athlon-2.4.21-144.i586.rpm

is what I'm supposed to download.  About a week ago there was a kernel 
update that I did with YaST/YOU.  It is the same version number as the 
one listed for the current security announcement.

~>rpm -q k_athlon
k_athlon-2.4.21-144

I'm I correct to assume that I'm OK?  Is it possible that changes were 
made but the version number didn't change?

Cheers,
Gary
