Yes, we have a lot of fingerprints like "Linux 2.6.17 - 2.6.25". In some
cases 2.6.24 can be distinguished from earlier versions so we have other
fingerprints like "Linux 2.6.24 - 2.6.25". So far there is only one
print that covers 2.6.26.

If you found a box against which Nmap gives the wrong version, like
"Linux 2.6.17 - 2.6.23" and you know it's 2.6.24, please submit a
correction to the OS database at http://insecure.org/cgi-bin/submit.cgi?corr-os
