Hi

I'm using 2.6.22.15-grsec2.1.11-vs2.2.0.5 kernel.
And the exploit works in both vserver and host.

It doesn't let to escape from vserver but it could be possible
according to http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1494
"In the vserver-enabled kernels, a missing access check on certain
symlinks in /proc enabled local attackers to access resources in other
vservers"

Did you just set TPE or some other options?
Which grsecurity option protects against this exploit?
Can you share your config?
