CVE-2008-2009 looks like a good candidate for an spu/ospu.  Patches were
added to the unstable packages to harden against attacks similar to
this. It would be useful to have these patches in the stable releases to
provide added protection for users. See bug report [1] and mailing list
discussion [2].

Please coordinate with the release and security teams if you plan to
work on this.
