This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 3 Jon Masters 2008-08-21 15:46:19 UTC
I have posted the attached patch internally for consideration in the 5.3 kernel. It is now awaiting internal discussion and signoff. I will update this bug with the results from that process. In the meantime, please let me know if you are planning to ship a module on systems prior to 5.3 and require a temporary workaround for this whitelist omission.

Oracle, a fix for this bug should be available for testing in the RHEL 5.3 Beta release. You can download these bits from RHN.

Please take a moment to verify that the fix is present and functioning as expected and report back your test results as soon as  possible. Thanks! Please ping your Red Hat Partner Manager with any additional questions.
