Package: kernel-source-2.6.8 Version: 2.6.8-15 Severity: critical Tags: security
CAN-2005-0916 reads: AIO in the Linux kernel 2.6.11 on the PPC64 or IA64 architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE enabled allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) via a process that executes the io_queue_init function but exits without running io_queue_release, which causes exit_aio and is_hugepage_only_range to fail. The vulnerable code is also in 2.6.8 but not in 2.4.27. Please mention the CAN number in the changelog.
