http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git-commits-head&m=115273802320119&w=2
is the actual commit, with a fair bit of detail about it. You could pull
the 1-line patch from there and apply it to your kernel. There's also
the workaround mentioned in the SANS message if you don't feel
comfortable with patching, as long as you don't need to use core dumps
as non-root.

For gentoo-sources, the most reliable way to figure out what's going on
is the ChangeLog.

Thanks,
Donnie
