[Bug 413656] Re: Local root exploit via CVE-2009-2692 (incorrect proto_ops initializations)

[Kees Cook]

Hi, it's medium because it's local-only, and is not, as you say, an
issue for all Ubuntu systems -- only those with a non-default
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr setting.  Additionally, there are work-around
available while the fix is being worked oni.  Debian was more
vulnerable, so they acted more quickly.  The Ubuntu kernels are
currently building, and we expect them to publish after they pass QA
today.
