Description Mark J. Cox 2004-07-15 11:04:27 UTC 
A flaw was found and fixed in 2.6 (and backported to 2.4 on 20040204).
 On ia64 platforms that can allegedly cause a local unprivileged user
to oops the kernel; but others have said that it causes a BUG() and
leaking vma only.

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/cset@4021346f79nBb-4X_usRikR3Iyb4Vg

Therefore fixed in 2.4.25
Comment 1 Jim Paradis 2004-11-17 01:06:20 UTC 
This fix is slated for the RHEL3-U4 respin taking place 11/16/04

Although reported against ia64, the fix is good for all arches.
Comment 4 Ernie Petrides 2004-11-25 01:27:09 UTC 
The fix for this problem has been committed to both the RHEL3 U4 and the
RHEL3 E4 patch pools (in kernel versions 2.4.21-25.EL and 2.4.21-20.0.1.EL).
Comment 5 Marcel Holtmann 2006-05-31 13:41:09 UTC
