Hello Herbert,

serious problem:
I read about the new BufferOverflow in the kernel's ELF Loader - it seems that an unprivileged attacker can start process in the kernels context..

details?

 - which issue?
 - what kernels are affected?
 - how does the 'exploit' look like?

I reffered to the Announce on heise (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/59498) - I did not any additional research as I dont have much knowldeg about kernel but this one here sounds serioius as it might allow loading a compromised kernel-space programm by simply running an infected binary....

Oliver
