CVE-2010-1146
Description
From CVE.org
The Linux kernel 2.6.33.2 and earlier, when a ReiserFS filesystem exists, does not restrict read or write access to the .reiserfs_priv directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying (1) extended attributes or (2) ACLs, as demonstrated by deleting a file under .reiserfs_priv/xattrs/.
Statement
Not vulnerable. The Linux kernel as shipped with with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG did not include support for reiserfs and therefore are not affected by this issue.
