Hi List,
Looks like this affects on centos 5 and is unpatched like on rhel 5?

Trying to test if this affects on centos 5. can someone compile this exploit on centos 5? https://www.qualys.com/research/security-advisories/roothelper.c
any ideas how to compile it on centos 5?
Red Hat says 2 things in that article:
1. It impacts RHEL5 (so also CentOS5)
2. They are NOT fixing it, at least not now.
This is NOT the FIRST security update where this has happened.
I would recommend you upgrade to CentOS-6 or CentOS-7 for all workloads that you can.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
