Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of an official kernel update for the SYS_EPoll_Wait Local Integer Overflow Vulnerability running around? Its been verified 2.6.3-25mdk is exploitable and possible to gain a root shell. I believe the issue has been corrected in the cookers kernel-2.6.11.10mdk-1-1mdk, but I was hoping for a release not considered to be in a development state. Also, I've found numerous references to http://www.mandrivasecure.net/en/advisories/ while looking in to this, but the page comes up with a Forbidden message. Any information will be appreciated, and I apologize if this issue has already been covered. Thanks. references: http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-March/032314.html fix: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@422dd06a1p5PsyFhoGAJseinjEq3ew?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-1d The 'fix' link gives me a error, but I found a few patch references that should work. I was hoping an official RPM would be released. -- George Patterson
