Various routines for the ppc64 architecture on Linux kernel 2.6 prior to 2.6.2 and 2.4 prior to 2.4.24 do not use the copy_from_user function when copying data from userspace to kernelspace, which crosses security boundaries and allows local users to cause a denial of service.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel issue affecting ppc64 systems. A local user could trigger a kernel failure and deny service because some routines copied user data into kernel space without the expected safety function. Exposure is likely limited to legacy ppc64 Linux systems running kernels older than 2.6.2 or 2.4.24, especially unsupported historical Red Hat deployments. Treat as a legacy-platform hygiene issue, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize remediation if ppc64 systems still support business-critical workloads or untrusted local users. Mitigation focus: Identify any ppc64 Linux hosts running kernel 2.6 before 2.6.2 or 2.4 before 2.4.24.; Apply the relevant vendor kernel update, including RHSA-2004:017 where applicable.; Migrate unsupported legacy kernels to maintained vendor-supported releases..
