Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
There is a security hole in all versions of linux-2.6 distributed by Ubuntu, including Feisty's and Gutsy's kernels.
The attached exploit code can be used to test if a kernel is vulnerable, it starts a root shell.
NOTE: This exploit is suspected to also cause a DoS against Xen.
