grsec for 2.6.24.6 ?

Postby coderx » Tue May 06, 2008 9:22 am

Race condition in the directory notification subsystem (dnotify) in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.24.6, and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.1, allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possible gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
so all 2.6.* kernels are vuln before 2.6.24.6 and latest grsec is for 2.6.24.5 :)

spender does have some PaX updates to pull in but latest grsecurity patch applies w/o failed hunks against 2.6.24.6 fine for now.

It's available on the test patch site. I'll upload the main page in a day or two.
