Look what I've just recieved...

It seems that 2.2 isn't vulnerable after all.

Subject: Linux mremap bug correction

Hi,

our initial posting contains a mistake about the vulnerability of the 2.2
kernel series. Since the 2.2 kernel series doesn't support the
MREMAP_FIXED flag it is NOT vulnerable. The source states
"MREMAP_FIXED option added 5-Dec-1999" but it didn't make into recent
2.2.x. We apologize for inconvenience.
