Bug#332569: kernel-source-2.4.27: [CAN-2005-3105] [IA64] Montecito CPU local DoS



Package: kernel-source-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-11
Severity: important
Tags: patch security


It appears that 2.4.27 is vulnerable to CAN-2005-3105,
which has long been fixed in Debian's 2.6

Dann, can you take a look into this?

CAN stuff is below for reference, though the patch came from
you in the first place.

The mrpotect code (mprotect.c) in Linux 2.6 on Itanium IA64 Montecito
processors does not properly maintain cache coherency as required by
the architecture, which allows local users to cause a denial of
service and possibly corrupt data by modifying PTE protections.
