No, in fact the CVE description is not precise enough. Maybe we should
propose an update to Steven, I don't know how CVE descriptions are
supposed to evolve.

The patch merged in 2.4 was a backport by Hugh Dickins of Linus' 2.6 patch,
which itself was composed of three successive fixes :

  2f77d107050abc14bc393b34bdb7b91cf670c250
  4fb23e439ce09157d64b89a21061b9fc08f2b495
  825020c3866e7312947e17a0caa9dd1a5622bafc

I attach all of them to this mail for your convenience. I noticed that
Linus recently applied other changes to mincore, though I'm not sure
they are security-related.

Hoping this helps,
Willy
