** Description changed:

  The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel
  2.6.39.1 and earlier does not prevent multiple registrations of exit
  handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory
  and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted
  application.
