The altivec_unavailable_exception function in arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c
in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 on 64-bit systems mishandles the case
where CONFIG_ALTIVEC is defined and the CPU actually supports Altivec, but
the Altivec support was not detected by the kernel, which allows local
users to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering execution of an
Altivec instruction.
