The Linux vmsplice local root exploit (CentOS, Redhat, Debian, Ubuntu) works with any Linux kernel version 2.6.17 to 2.6.24.1. If you don’t trust your users (which you shouldn’t), better compile a new kernel without vmsplice. This is the beauty of open source. The problem is now known so fixes are already on their way. As I write this, Red Hat is working on their update fix which will apply to RH and CentOS.
