CVE-2014-2672 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-2672):

Race condition in the ath_tx_aggr_sleep function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c in the Linux 
kernel before 3.13.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a large 
amount of network traffic that triggers certain list deletions.
