Kernel Vulnerability

Find the whole thing here
http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-001 … -unmap.txt

Here's the condensed version:

A critical security vulnerability has been found in the Linux kernel memory
management code inside the mremap(2) system call due to missing function return
value check. This bug is completely unrelated to the mremap bug disclosed on
05-01-2004 except concerning the same internal kernel function code.

Re: Kernel Vulnerability

Version:   2.2 up to and including 2.2.25, 2.4 up to to and including 2.4.24,    
           2.6 up to to and including 2.6.2

so 2.4.25 and 2.6.3 are not problematic, right?

Re: Kernel Vulnerability

I'm wondering if they didn't test 2.6.3 as I didn't see it mentioned specifically as 2.2.25 was.
