From the Mandrake advisory (http://www.mandrakesoft.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2004:062):
 A vulnerability in the e1000 driver for the Linux kernel 2.4.26 and
 earlier was discovered by Chris Wright.  The e1000 driver does not
 properly reset memory or restrict the maximum length of a data
 structure, which can allow a local user to read portions of kernel
 memory (CAN-2004-0535).
