Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2008-12-10 21:40:59 UTC 
CVE-2008-5395 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-5395):
  The parisc_show_stack function in arch/parisc/kernel/traps.c in the
  Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc7 on PA-RISC allows local users to cause
  a denial of service (system crash) via vectors associated with an
  attempt to unwind a stack that contains userspace addresses.
Comment 1 Axel Dyks 2008-12-16 20:33:33 UTC 
Patch went into 2.6.27.9 vanilla
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=16a476e1419249a1c0733fdb683f29c9bde6f941

--> it's in genpatches 2.6.27-8
--> it's in gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r6
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-13 15:31:11 UTC 
For the record: HPPA == PA-RISC. Thanks.

I'll check whether going stable early on a 2.6.28 kernel is the way for HPPA. I've been meaning to stabilise a 2.6.28 for a while now. Btw, hardened has nothing to do with this as HPPA doesn't do a hardened kernel or profile.
Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-20 15:31:54 UTC 
Stable for HPPA:
 =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5
 =sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.28.9
