RHELRHELPosted Jan 23, 2012 16:46 UTC (Mon) by corbet (editor, #1)Parent article: Linux Local Privilege Escalation via SUID /proc/pid/mem Write (zx2c4) For people running RHEL (and derived) systems, Red Hat has put up a SystemTap-based workaround to close the vulnerability until a proper update is available and can be installed. It also appears (from the bugzilla entry) that only RHEL6 is vulnerable; older releases do not have a recent-enough kernel to be affected.
