Description:
 The altivec_unavailable_exception function in arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c
 in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 on 64-bit systems mishandles the case
 where CONFIG_ALTIVEC is defined and the CPU actually supports Altivec, but
 the Altivec support was not detected by the kernel, which allows local
 users to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering execution of an
 Altivec instruction.
