1 | With this latest root exploit getting a lot of attention will we get a |
2 | hardened patch for this soon? |

4 | There is a runtime fix at: |
5 | http://www.ping.uio.no/~mortehu/disable-vmsplice-if-exploitable.c but grsec |
6 | sadly prevents the runtime fix from running for those of us running it as it |
7 | denies kmem writing. We could recompile without grsec to apply this runtime |
8 | patch but that is certainly a hack. |
