Description Mark J. Cox 2005-01-25 09:34:39 UTC

*** This bug has been split off bug 146079 ***

------- Original comment by Mark J. Cox (Security Response Team) on 2005.01.25

Coverity Inc source checker found a few potential flaws.  Whilst most are
protected by ADMIN or NET_ADMIN and therefore not considered to be a security
risk, one could possibly allow an unprivileged denial of service (crash) or
maybe more.  For the fix see

(Note for RHEL3 coda fs is unsupported)
