Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2015-06-21 13:38:06 UTC 
CVE-2014-8172 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-8172):
  The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.13 performs
  certain operations on lists of files with an inappropriate locking approach,
  which allows local users to cause a denial of service (soft lockup or system
  crash) via unspecified use of Asynchronous I/O (AIO) operations.
