CVE-2006-2448

Linux kernel before 2.6.16.21 and 2.6.17, when running on PowerPC, does not perform certain required accessok checks, which allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory on 64-bit systems signal64.c and cause a denial of service crash and possibly read kernel memory on 32-bit systems...
