  "details" : [ "The md driver (drivers/md/md.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30.2 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors related to \"suspend_* sysfs attributes\" and the (1) suspend_lo_store or (2) suspend_hi_store functions.  NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when sysfs is writable by an attacker." ],
  "statement" : "The flaw was introduced in kernel version 2.6.17-rc1. The Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, and 4 are not affected by this issue.\nA future kernel update for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will address this flaw.",
