will the Arch Kernel be patched soon?

Just posting this not for my sake but to ask on behalf of the arch community.

Just earlier today or late yesterday a hole in the kernel was discover in ptrace. this hole can allow a user to seize root without authentication. note this hole cannot be exploited remotely (apparently).

alan cox and crew have made a patch to fix this hole. Red Hat has patched their kernel will arch do the same soon?

A patched kernel (2.4.20-2) is up on the main server now.  Mirrors will have it tonight.
