The (1) sparc_mmap_check function in arch/sparc/kernel/sys_sparc.c and the (2) sparc64_mmap_check function in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc.c, in the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.36.5 and 2.6 before 2.6.25.3, omit some virtual-address range (aka span) checks when the mmap MAP_FIXED bit is not set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified mmap calls.

CVE-2008-2826 [HIGH] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Dirk Nehring discovered that the IPsec protocol stack did not correctly
handle fragmented ESP packets. A remote attacker could exploit this to
crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2007-6282)
Johannes Bauer discovered that the 64bit kernel did not correctly handle
hrtimer updates. A local attacker could request a large expiration value
and cause the system to hang, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2007-6712)
Tavis Ormandy discovered that the ia32 emulation under 64bit kernels did
not fully clear uninitialized data. A local attacker could read private
kernel memory, leading to a loss of privacy. (CVE-2008-0598)
Jan Kratochvil discovered that PTRACE did not correctly handle certain
calls when

The (1) sys32_mremap function in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c, the (2) sparc_mmap_check function in arch/sparc/kernel/sys_sparc.c, and the (3) sparc64_mmap_check function in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc.c, in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.4, omit some virtual-address range (aka span) checks when the mremap MREMAP_FIXED bit is not set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified mremap calls, a related issue to CVE-2008-2137.
Statement: Not vulnerable. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, 4, and 5 do not ship for the SPARC architecture.
