CVE-2009-4138 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-4138):
  drivers/firewire/ohci.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-git9, when
  packet-per-buffer mode is used, allows local users to cause a denial
  of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly
  have unknown other impact via an unspecified ioctl associated with
  receiving an ISO packet that contains zero in the payload-length
  field.
