CVE-2009-0605 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-0605):
  Stack consumption vulnerability in the do_page_fault function in
  arch/x86/mm/fault.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.5 allows local
  users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly
  gain privileges via unspecified vectors that trigger page faults on a
  machine that has a registered Kprobes probe.
