VULNERABLE HOSTS

This problem is present in Linux kernels up to and including 2.0.35.
Any distribution containing a kernel revision less than this is
vulnerable.

RESOLUTION

It is recommended that kernels below version 2.0.36 be upgraded to
eliminate this vulnerability.

This implies but does not explicitly state that 2.0.36+ kernels are
not vulnerable. Is this the case?
