Description Mark J. Cox 2006-01-03 09:08:57 UTC 
Reported to full-disclosure was a flaw said to allow kernel memory to be
disclosed to untrusted local users.  This was verified by Solar Designer and a
patch for the issue committed by Linus.

Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2006-01-04 18:37:25 UTC 
Is BK still going? 

The canonical location would now be in git:

Comment 3 Mark J. Cox 2006-01-04 18:54:18 UTC 
yeah, we track all the outstanding issues by bk id at the moment (one form so
that we can easily spot dupes).  We need to go through and convert them all to
git ids at some point.
