I seem to be fine with this kernel:

Linux josh 2.6.32-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 14:58:24 UTC
2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu already released patched kernels. See http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-988-1 for details.

An "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" (and a restart) will make your system happy.
