kernel vulnerablity

[John Heim]

So i have all these machines with speakup kernels on them downloaded from
Shane's space on debian.org. Some code has been published recently that
alows a user to become root. I have compiled this code and it does work. But
I'm unclear on how to fix it. here is the debian page that is supposed to
explain what to do. But I don't get what it's telling me to do:
