Description Aleksandar Stojadinovic 2001-12-02 03:19:57 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461)

Description of problem:
crash02 is able to reboot/crash/panic all Redhat 7.2 installations with 
kernel from kernel-xx-2.4.9-xx-rpm package run as nobody or any other non 
root user.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.get package from http://ltp.sourceforge.net/, make
2. su nobody ( or anyone non root )
3. start crash02 test in testcases/misc/crash/
4. run ~10 times, sometimes pres Ctrl-C upon execution, sometimes not.

Actual Results:  Kernel panic or system reboot.

Expected Results:  Kernel is unable to handle ...
or
Aiee ...

Additional info:

Hardware is different on 3 test machines. (MB, LAN, video, memory,
DE/SCSI  - diff. vendors, diff. types...).
RH installation (7.2, 7.1) is clean or with all security updates from RH 
site - same result.
Only way to survive the crash02 test is to stay on 2.4.3 kernel
