Comment 1 Ernie Petrides 2005-05-16 21:41:25 UTC
Jim, patches relative to RHEL4 are in comments 3 and 4 of bug 154451.

Comment 8 Mark J. Cox 2005-06-13 09:21:17 UTC
I originally labelled this issue as CAN-2005-0756 however that was in error due
to two similar ptrace check issues.  The following is as reported to vendor-sec:

Fixing rip -> CAN-2005-1762
Fixing fs_base and gs_base -> CAN-2005-0756

[PATCH] x86_64: check if ptrace RIP is canonical
This works around an AMD Erratum.

This is a DoS on 2.4 and 2.6

A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U6
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-32.8.EL).
