Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : linux-source-2.6.10, linux-source-2.6.8.1 vulnerabilities (USN-178-1)

Oleg Nesterov discovered a local Denial of Service vulnerability in the timer handling. When a non group-leader thread called exec to execute a different program while an itimer was pending, the timer expiry would signal the old group leader task, which did not exist any more. This caused a kerne...
