CVE-2009-2767 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2767): The init_posix_timers function in kernel/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly gain privileges via a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW clock_nanosleep call that triggers a NULL pointer dereference. |
