It would seem that user input controlls the integers being overflowed.  It looks
like a malicious user should be able to alter kernel memory.

The fix for this issue is in attachment 109500 [details]

This issue does not affect the 2.4 kernel.  I copied the wrong text when I filed
this.  I'm just closing it.
