A bit of shameless PR for our kernel team leader, Kirill Korotaev:
From RHSA-2006-0617:
Important: kernel security update
[...]
* a flaw in the restore_all code path of the 4/4GB split support of
non-hugemem kernels that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service
(panic) (CVE-2006-2932, Important)
[...]
Red Hat would like to thank Wei Wang of McAfee Avert Labs and Kirill
Korotaev for reporting issues fixed in this erratum.
