024: SECURITY FIX: May 26, 2000
Kernel contained an undocumented system call used to lock semaphore operations
while they were being sampled by the ipcs(1) command. This locking could be
-used as a local denial of service attack which would block processes from
-exiting.
+used as a local denial of service attack which would block the exiting of
+processes which had semaphore resources allocated. Processes not using
+semaphores are not affected, so the actual effect is very minimal.
A jumbo patch exists which remedies this problem.
