I've done some digging around concerning the kernel exploit. For the
Ubuntu heads it would appear that the most recent updates included
fixes for this. See this post for more information
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2006-July/000353.html.

Doubtful that anyone but myself is running Ubuntu on an Apple laptop,
but on the off chance, check your symlinks in /boot. You may have to
update them manually.

Thanks for the notice on this, always better to be safe than soggy.
