Updated kernel packages are now available that allow 32-bit compatibility-mode applications to utilize a larger address space on the AMD64 architecture. [Updated 01 Dec 2003] Note: This errata also fixed a bug in the do_brk() function, which has now been found to have security consequences: allowing a local attacker to gain root privileges (CAN-2003-0961). There is no change to the packages associated with this advisory.
