+ <para>(8 Feb 2004) A bug with the System V Shared Memory interface
+ (specifically the &man.shmat.2; system call)
+ can cause a shared memory segment to reference
+ unallocated kernel memory. In turn, this can permit a local
+ attacker to gain unauthorized access to parts of kernel memory,
+ possibly resulting in disclosure of sensitive information,
+ bypass of access control mechanisms, or privilege escalation.
+ More details, including bugfix and workaround information,
+ can be found in security advisory <ulink
