In Ubuntu's USN-219-1:

David S. Miller discovered a buffer overflow in the rose_rt_ioctl()
function.  By calling the function with a large "ngidis" argument, a
local attacker could cause a kernel crash. This vulnerability only
affects Ubuntu 4.10 and 5.04. (CVE-2005-3273)

This issue was fixed in 2.6.12 and 2.4.29 so closing as INVALID.
