It turns out that the Linux VFS layer on x86 (the only arch thinkpad-acpi works on, anyway) protects against very big writes, so the bug is likely not exploitable. Still, better safe than sorry, and the patch (with a much simpler commit message, since it looks like it is not a security bug after all) is going to be present on 2.6.31, and it was submitted for inclusion on 2.6.27 and 2.6.30. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
