committed in stream U5 build 42.30. A test kernel with this patch is available from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/ QE ack for RHEL4.5. According to the included URL, this is a local user NFS exploit. Is there any way this bug could be hit by an nfs server or by a user inadvertently? After a recent kernel patch on our Sun NFS servers (to address DST), our linux CPU server (multiple users via ssh) has crashed once about every 12 hours. Those Sun servers have been having other issues with NFS since the patch, so I'm wondering if it's possible that the NFS communication could cause the crash. None of our linux workstations have had any problems, but they're likely not hitting NFS as hard. I applied the test kernel and so far so good. Is there a way to get an official kernel update in FastTrack, or any word on when it might be available on the beta channel? I realize this is probably better for a mailing list, but that mail thread is over a year old. sucessfully tested using the reproducer and verified the patch is in the -52 kernel. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
