The kill_something_info function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel
before 2.6.28 does not consider PID namespaces when processing signals
directed to PID -1, which allows local users to bypass the intended
namespace isolation, and send arbitrary signals to all processes in all
namespaces, via a kill command.

Notes

Author Note
smb Dapper has no pid_namespace.
