(In reply to Prasad J Pandit from comment #2) > Fedora kernels don't seem to be affected. Not sure why that is, but the patch is queued for stable anyway so I went ahead and grabbed it. Added to Fedora git.
(In reply to Prasad J Pandit from comment #2) > $ cc -xc -o estest estest.c FWIW, this is a 32-bit issue, you have to compile with -m32... But I am not sure, whether this fixes anything for kernels < 3.14 (before kASLR was merged). The commit message is poor.
(In reply to Josh Boyer from comment #3) > (In reply to Prasad J Pandit from comment #2) > > Fedora kernels don't seem to be affected. > > Not sure why that is, but the patch is queued for stable anyway It is questionable. Andi Kleen objected to my, 3.12, version. So I FWDed to Greg and I am unsure ATM whether the kernels < 3.14 will be released with the patch.

For Fedora, we no longer have any releases that are older then the 3.17.y stable series so that specific thing isn't relevant. However, I'll keep an eye on the upstream thread and see if anything else comes from that.
