[edit] Users will be able to write to FIFOs they don't own in world-writable +t directories

This vulnerability means that certain types of attacks on the kernel are possible that can lead to a complete compromise of the system. The ASL kernel contains security measures to prevent this.

If you see this vulnerability it can only be caused if you are not running the ASL kernel.

[edit] Next Steps

Check to see if you are using the ASL kernel by going to this link.

If you are not running the ASL kernel:

Please check that you have the kernel installed and then reboot your system into the ASL kernel.

Note: If you have a VPS system, you will not have your own kernel. Please install ASL on the host server.
