This is not a remote vulnerability - correct?

If I can remotely connect to your computer then it is. we have put together a package with the module. It installs the module then adds it to rc.modules so it will be inserted on boot, and then inserts the module. you can get it with slapt-get "slapt-get --update && slapt-get --install novmsplice" or with gslapt Uelsk8s |

The package worked great, I tried the exploit and it works, is a serious thing. Should be the fix properly announced so we make sure most of the users will catch it?

It is really easy, you have to type as root slapt-get --update && slapt-get --install novmsplice |

Done. But the package is excluded if you view it by using gslapt......  |

hehe, right. I guess it is in the "kernel category". I think they are excluded because Gslapt will upgrade it by default, so there is no way to keep the old kernel. If something goes wrong, would be hard to fix. Perhaps there is a way, I don't use Gslapt very often... slapt-get is more easy imo. Less options, a more clear view, there is nothing in the way.

I would just like to chime in on the topic, and say a big thank you for paying prompt attention to this matter. I keep my ear to the ground on this kind of thing, and it was very telling that we had a fix in short order.
Keep it up, we notice the hard work!

I just did a fresh install of 5.9 and remembered this post. I would just like to add that slapt-get --update && slapt-get --install novmsplice does not work on a fresh install untill you update Gslapt. |

I just tried the "fix" on my 5.9 standard system. After it finished running, I got the message: Executing install script for novmsplice-1.0_2.6.22.14-i586-1vl59...
Done Would someone let me know if this "fix" was not necessary? I plan on administering it to several other machines. John |
