** Description changed:

- A missing validation flaw was found in the Linux kernel's m_stop()
- implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to
- trigger a denial of service.
+ The m_stop function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the Linux kernel before
+ 2.6.39 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via
+ vectors that trigger an m_start error.
