Dear Sir/Madam: I'm a postgraduate student majoring in information security and I'm very interested in software vulnerabilities, I think it's really fascinating and I'm doing some research about how to find vulnerabilities automatically. I have done some tests with Linux bug commits. And I found that the patch codes ( fixing CVE-2014-4608 ) didn't appear in the version 3.17.2 to 4.5. I'm just wondering if this means the vulnerability ( CVE-2014-4608 ) recurs in Linux 3.17.2-4.5. If not, is it fixed in another way? Thanks for your time, I'll appreciate it very much if you can give an answer. p.s. here is the link to CVE-2014-4608 report http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=206a81c18401c0cde6e579164f752c4b147324ce Best regards ZhiJun DENG Cluster and Grid Computing Laboratory HuaZhong University Of Science And Technology 1037 Luoyu Road,Wuhan,430074,China Tel:+86 - 15527287870 Email:506012274@xxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
