Intel Pentium Bug on System V

[AnthonyX_Eufemio () CCM SC INTEL COM (AnthonyX Eufemio)]

In order for the exploit to work on most SystemV systems running on P5
x86 you have to do a sync system call first then execute the lock code.
I have tested it on SCO UnixWare 1.x, 2.x, and SCO OpenServer 5.x and it
will NOT work if you don't do a sync syscall first.

Patches are available in kernel loadable module format from the vendor.

Regards,
A E
