La función tun_chr_poll en drivers/net/tun.c en el subsistema tun del kernel de Linux v2.6.30 y v2.6.30.1, cuando se omite la opción -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks en gcc, permite a atacantes locales obtener privilegios a través de vectores que implican desreferenciacion de punteros NULL y un nmap de /dev/net/tun, es una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2009-1894.

This issue did not affect the final released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 kernel.
