Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-05 06:38:58 UTC 
In SuSE latest kernel advisory :

- by causing an overflow in the 32bit execve function users could
  crash the kernel or even execute code (CAN-2005-1768).

2.4 only, patch in URL field.
Comment 2 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-05 10:51:08 UTC 
Only grsec-sources affected as it's marked ~amd64.
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-05 15:43:48 UTC 
guess this is as good time any to drop grsec-sources-2.4.x
Comment 4 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-06 02:39:36 UTC 
grsec-sources-2.4.x is no longer in the tree.
Comment 5 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-08 12:32:03 UTC 
Closing bug.
