From ${URL} : Description Konstantin Khlebnikov has reported a vulnerability in Linux Kernel, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "get_wchan()" function (arch/arm/kernel/process.c) when unwinding stack frames and can be exploited to cause a kernel oops.
