The "4G-4G" feature of the FC2 kernels will break any incorrect direct access to userspace data.
There is another example here http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2004/Mar/3228.html

The new "__user" attributes appearing in the 2.6.7-rc kernels are an attempt to be able to detect these using automated tools.
