Correction, the Fedora advisory is for another issue unrelated to do_brk(). While the timing is similar, the changelog in the linked advisory shows this is the case.
See comment from Red Hat employee here :
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-December/msg00484.html
"2.4.22-1.2115.nptl kernel in FC1 is not vulnerable to this issue.
See linux-2.4.18-smallpatches.patch patch in
kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.src.rpm (mm/mmap.c change)."
