Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-12 18:14:51 UTC 
CVE-2007-3107 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-3107):
  The signal handling in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22, including 2.6.2, when
  running on PowerPC systems using HTX, allows local users to cause a denial of
  service via unspecified vectors involving floating point corruption and
  concurrency, related to clearing of MSR bits.

This is old, but maybe some sources might still be affected.
