Comment 2 Jason Baron 2005-06-09 15:32:35 UTC

Also, as mentioned in bug 159671, we still don't have an exploit to verify the
fix. Although I agree that this is a pretty clear fix, with low risk of side
effects.

Public now as of 20050621:10, removing security sensitive tag

A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U6
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-32.10.EL).
