In the change log for gs-sources-2.4.23_pre8-r2 it says it patches the mremap() vulnerability. I got a program off the security focus mailing list that tests the kernel for this vulnerability, this program says that my kernel is still vulnerable even after upgrading. Could someone please confirm this.
here is the code:

/* * Proof of concept code for testing do_mremap() Linux kernel bug.
* It is based on the code by Christophe Devine and Julien Tinnes
* posted on Bugtraq mailing list on 5 Jan 2004 but it's safer since * it avoids any kernel data corruption.
*
* The following test was done against the Linux kernel 2.6.0. Similar * results were obtained against the kernel 2.4.23 and previous ones.
