Note to everyone here: the interesting issue is CVE-2010-4258 (write a NULL to arbitrary memory on OOPS). The other two issues have been deliberately chosen to be exotic and hard to exploit, but * However, the important issue, CVE-2010-4258, affects everyone, and it would * be trivial to find an unpatched DoS under KERNEL_DS and write a slightly * more sophisticated version of this that doesn't have the roadblocks I put in * to prevent abuse by script kiddies. So no, if this happened not to work on your box, you'll still want to upgrade.
