Description Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2005-10-18 10:07:46 UTC
An exploit using loadkeys has been found and discussed at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334113. Running "loadkeys -d"
in /etc/profile would mitigate this exploit.

Comment 1 Phil Knirsch 2006-01-27 11:30:16 UTC
As the latest update kernel for FC4 has been repased to 2.6.14.4 this bug is now
fixed via the updated kernel:

* Fri Dec 16 2005 Dave Jones <davej>
- Rebase to final 2.6.14.4

Read ya, Phil
