Description:   Opened: 2008-08-15 10:56 0000 
CVE-2008-3275 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3275):
  The (1) real_lookup and (2) __lookup_hash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs
  implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 does not prevent creation
  of a child dentry for a deleted (aka S_DEAD) directory, which allows local
  users to cause a denial of service ("overflow" of the UBIFS orphan area) via
  a series of attempted file creations within deleted directories.

------- Comment #1 From Robert Buchholz 2008-08-15 10:57:53 0000 ------- 
Also fixed in 2.6.25.15 and 2.6.26.2

------- Comment #2 From Kerin Millar 2009-07-20 19:26:23 0000 ------- 
hardened-kernel unaffected at present time. Removing alias.

PS: genpatches-2.6.25-10 included the 2.6.25.15 patch and genpatches-2.6.26-2
included the 2.6.26.2 patch
