That can explain why it's off on my system (karmic koala). By the way, this is from the debian wiki: Debian 5.0.3 ships with a default mmap_min_addr of '0'. This means that the Debian system, by default, is susceptible to these NULL-pointer privilege escalation techniques. Unless you know that you have applications that require this functionality, it is recommended that you increase the value of mmap_min_addr on your system. Off by default.
