Linux 2.4 kernel ioperm vuln *is* for 2.4

[Rain Forest Puppy <rfp () vulnwatch org>]

We've received a few emails asking to clarify if the ioperm bug was for
2.5 (like it mentioned in the referenced post), or 2.4 like I mentioned in
the title.

Red Hat and EnGarde have released advisories and updated 2.4 kernels with
ioperm patches. CVE has also entered it as CAN-2003-0246, although it is
sourced from the Red Hat and EnGarde advisories.  That leads to conclude
it's a bug in 2.4; otherwise what the hell are Red Hat and EnGarde
updating/patching?
