ptrace exploit still works after kernel update

26 Mar 2003

      Hi,

I installed the kernel update k_deflt-2.4.19-274 from SuSE-SA:2003:021
on my SuSE 8.1 system.
The system rebooted normal after install.

The exploit from http://sinuspl.net/ptrace/isec-ptrace-kmod-exploit.c
still works and gives me a root shell under the new kernel!

rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz shows k_deflt-2.4.19-274
The boot manager is grub.

Does the kernel update not fix this bug correctly?
