Comment 5 Ernie Petrides 2005-06-09 03:24:09 UTC
A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U6
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-32.7.EL).


Comment 6 Mark J. Cox 2005-06-09 08:27:57 UTC
Ernie has requested that this be made public and not have an embargo; therefore
I'm contacting vendor-sec and kernel to let them know about the
issue  as SUSE and others are about to do x86_64 updates for a number of other
flaws.
