No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

include/linux/init_task.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent signals with a process group ID of zero from reaching the swapper process, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging access to this process group.
