"task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days of Linux on s390. /proc/<pid>/status is a world readable file, it is not a good idea to show the registers of a process. The only correct fix is to remove task_show_regs." http://git.kernel.org/linus/261cd298a8c363d7985e3482946edb4bfedacf98 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/677850 This does all the way back to 2.4.x.
Please use CVE-2011-0710. Thanks. -- JB
