Some news:

Updated kernels

Due to the recent local root exploit both generic and vserver kernel are updated. To prevent similar future bugs be exploitable I have enabled UDEREF in kernels. This is a good protection but it does have some serious performance issues when running on virtual machines without hardware support.

New version of busybox

Upgraded to busybox-1.9.x series. This adds some new features while still reduce the overall size. You gotta love busybox! Look out for bugs.
