Description Richard Freeman gentoo-dev

2010-09-19 10:58:41 UTC

Stable gentoo kernels are vulnerable to the exploit described in this kernel commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git&a=commitdiff&h=c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6

Apologies if there is already a bug tracking this, but I've seen mailing list traffic, blog posts, and slashdot articles, and no security bug.  

Rumor has it that fixes are in the tree:
