Seems to effect Debian to name but one distro that turns on vmsplice, including etch (current stable). http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257&from=rss I've verified the example exploit and I can gain root access from my normal user account. Though this was worth mentioning, it should only be an issue if you allow others to have accounts on you machine OR some other bug allows an attacker to gain non root access. Happy patching! Robin
