Debian 4.0 and mmap_min_addr null pointer dereference flaw
Hello all,
I see that there is another null pointer dereference flaw being talked about.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/03/linux_kernel_vulnerability/
It looks like we can take step in Debian 5.0 to mitigate this threat by setting
echvm.mmap_min_addr = 4096
per http://wiki.debian.org/mmap_min_addr
I am running some servers running Debian 4.0. I doesn't look like
there is a /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf to edit. Where are these
values stored
under Debian 4.0.
What is the right way to proceed? Should I be looking at upgrading my servers?
Thanks!
John
