The Sangoma frame relay driver could allow local users to read
large portions of kernel memory.

Hi, Mark.  While the RHEL3 version of the net/wan/sdla.c could be improved
with the two (different) fixes referred to above, its ioctl handler is
restricted to super-user usage by virtue of this code in sdla_ioctl():

        if(!capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN))
                return -EPERM;

Given that there is no security hole and that drivers/net/wan is contained
in the RHEL3 "unsupported module" list, I'm closing this as NOTABUG.
