Two of the vulnerabilities lie in the way the Linux kernel--the core of the open-source operating system--manages memory. They affect all current versions of Linux, according to advisories released on Wednesday by iSEC Security Research, a Polish security company. The third flaw affects the module for the kernel that supports ATI Technologies' Rage 128-bit video card.

Thanks for posting, but I think mentioning the ATI one should suffice since the two do remap's where already covered in the "WARN: Major kernel vuln: affects 2.6.x + 2.4.x + 2.2.x ( 1 2 3 )" and "Second mremap critical bug" threads.
