Description Mark J. Cox 2009-01-28 16:22:09 UTC 
Upstream kernel commit 81156928f8fe31621e467490b9d441c0285998c3 addressed an issue:

    dell_rbu: use scnprintf() instead of less secure sprintf()

    Reading 0 bytes from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type or
    /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size by an ordinary user causes an
    oops.

dell_rbu is "Remote Bio Update driver for Dell systems"

We ship dell_rbu with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and later and they are potentially affected by this issue.  

Note however that this issue can only be triggered on Dell systems that have this driver loaded.
