Package: kernel-source-2.6.8 Severity: important Tags: security patch CAN-2005-0867 describes an integer overflow in sysfs_write_file() that could be exploited to overwrite kernel memory. I've attached the patch from Alexander Nyberg as found in the Ubuntu package.
2.4 is not affected.
Cheers,
Moritz
