Public from Connectiva CLA-2005:930 Original 2.6 patch here: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/patch@1.1966.1.67 http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/patch@1.1966.1.68 From Alan Cox: Actually I think [this patch] raises bigger problems that it fixes. It can break existing applications and it may leave 64bit machines without posix compliance in the 2.4 case. In fact these fixes were introduced by Linux as a higher-level protection against flaws discovered by Georgi Guninski treated in bug 82141. Mass-Ccing kern-sec@gentoo.org to make sure Kernel Security guys know about all of these... Created attachment 56379 [details, diff]
