I would like to note that 2.6.8 does not seem to be vulnerable to 
CAN-2005-1913, as it does not include per-process timers, which
was introduced by this patch

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@422dec29xUKSbBfNLEKytSf8w6XHhA

For refereance, the patch for CAN-2005-1913 is below:

[PATCH] Clean up subthread exec (CAN-2005-1913)

Make sure we re-parent itimers.  If subthread exec's with timer pending,
signal is delivered to old group-leader and can panic kernel.
