Description: The Linux kernel is prone to multiple memory access vulnerabilities, including: - A vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to read arbitrary memory locations. - A vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to write to arbitrary memory locations. An attacker can exploit these issues to read and write to arbitrary memory locations on the affected computer. This issue affects Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.24.1. --- Tested on current Fedora kernel (2.6.23.14-115.fc8) and it give me root! Posted also to fedora-kernel-list.
