Description:   Opened: 2008-08-15 12:47 0000 
CVE-2008-3534 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3534):
  The shmem_delete_inode function in mm/shmem.c in the tmpfs implementation in
  the Linux kernel before 2.6.26.1 allows local users to cause a denial of
  service (system crash) via a certain sequence of file create, remove, and
  overwrite operations, as demonstrated by the insserv program, related to
  allocation of "useless pages" and improper maintenance of the i_blocks count.

------- Comment #1 From Robert Buchholz 2008-08-15 12:49:45 0000 ------- 
Fixed in 2.6.25.14 and 2.6.26.1
