Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Severity: important
Tags: security patch
CAN-2004-2302 describes a kernel DoS through a race condition, that can be
triggered
by overly long sysfs offsets. Please see
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset%404186a4deVoR88JjTwMa3ZnIp-_YJsA
for description and a patch. 2.4 doesn't seem to use sysfs and it should
already be
fixed in 2.6.12.
Cheers,
Moritz
