I don't think that Jens has solved this, he made a local workaroung only, so
if you could look into this, it would be nice.

Please take care of this. I haven't looked at the patches at all,
just worked around the bug locally by disabling the scripts
altogether.

Hi,

Subject says it all. The apply and unapply scripts doesn't work at
all. It looks as if this is due to incompatibilities between the
patch-2.4.26-<n> files and the tree that got packaged as
kernel-source-2.4.26.tar.bz2.

hi,
  Regarding the bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=253871
CAN-2004-0554 user application can hang the kernel
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=262540

it seems that this is also a bug in the 2.4.18 kernel, at least
according to this URL:

http://linuxreviews.org/news/2004/06/11_kernel_crash/
> 2. The Crashing Kernels
> Minor numbers are versions verified, this is just the top the iceberg:
> o 2.4.18-bf2.4 (debian woody vanilla)

In this case this is a security problem for the kernel 2.4.18 pacakages
in stable IMHO, e.g. kernel-source-2.4.18

Is anyone working on a new security release for 2.4.18?

thanks

[boud (boud1)]

On my kernel compiled from 2.4.18-2.4.18-14.3 source code,
plus the patch:

http://linuxreviews.org/news/2004/06/11_kernel_crash/24_kernel_ia32-and-x86_64-fix-fpu-state.patch.txt

which is just adding one command in one header file:

include/asm-i386/i387.h

- asm volatile("fwait"); \
+ asm volatile("fnclex ; fwait"); \

this compiled and installed OK.

As an ordinary user, i compiled the proof-of-bug code with gcc 2.95.4
and it did not crash the box, but instead it output a non-stop string
of "." to the screen and used 99% of CPU until i killed it.

hope this helps

Sorry, I just this moment got back from a business trip,
