the problem is when I running the c source from bugtraq
it still report segmentation fault,
[ichtus@mbone ~]$ ./dos-kernel.i386
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
From RHN about the new kernel:
"The kernel in Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.1K, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 are vulnerable to
a local denial of service attack. Updated packages are available which
address this vulnerability, as well as bugs in several drivers.
Description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been discovered in which a non-root
user can cause the machine to freeze. This kernel addresses the
vulnerability.
Note: This bug is specific to the x86 architecture kernels only, and does
not affect ia64 or other architectures.
In addition, a bug in the maestro3 soundcard driver has been fixed as well
as a bug in the xircom pcmcia driver network driver and the tg3 network
driver for Broadcom gigabit ethernet chips."
