|---|---|---|---|
| Red Hat | 2010-01-28 | Tomas Hoger | Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as they did not have support for network namespaces, and did not include upstream commit 483a47d2 that introduced the problem. |
There are currently no legacy QID mappings associated with this CVE.
