Subject: CVE request: kernel: splice local denial of service
Hi oss-sec,
CVE Request for a local denial kernel issue....
The splice(2) syscall has received some fixes against local deadlocks.
2.6.30-rc3 is fixed,
2.6.27.24 is fixed, and
2.6.29.4 is fixed.
The inode double locking code was introduced in 2.6.19, so I guess earlier
kernel versions are not affected. (Miklos?)
Its as far as I understand this set of changes in mainline:
