** Description changed:

- Memory leak in the inotify_init() system call. In some cases, it could
- leak a group, which could allow a local, unprivileged user to eventually
- cause a denial of service.
+ Memory leak in the inotify_init1 function in
+ fs/notify/inotify/inotify_user.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37
+ allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via
+ vectors involving failed attempts to create files.
