http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/17/linux_kernel_exploit/ Have a read from this news-site link above. It makes me wonder if there is a real problem with NULL memory exploits, and get this: [...] The "NULL pointer dereference" bug has been confirmed in versions 2.6.30 and 2.6.30.1 of the Linux kernel, which Spengler said has been incorporated into only one vendor build: version 5 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that's used in test environments. The exploit works only when a security extension knows as SELinux, or Security-Enhanced Linux, is enabled. Conversely, it also works when audio software known as PulseAudio is installed. [...] Is this "old news", rehashed (news) hype, or what? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
