2.2.14 Kernel exec/open bug (?)

[cracker () CRACKER HU (The Cr0W)]

Hello,

While browsing the redhat updates pages yesterday i've found
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2000018-10.html which reads:

"2. Problem description:
       The following problems have been fixed in this kernel release:
[...]
4.Exec bug fixes a problem where any user on the system could open any file or
device
           for side effects on open()"

I couldn't obtain any information on this bug on linux.com, slashdot.org,
linuxhq.com, securityfocus, etc., so if someone can tell me more about this,
drop an email to anyad () kapu hu please!

Regards,
Tamas Foldi
