Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-11-23 17:35:34 UTC
CVE-2009-3888 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3888):
  The do_mmap_pgoff function in mm/nommu.c in the Linux kernel before
  2.6.31.6, when the CPU lacks a memory management unit, allows local
  users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via an application that
  attempts to allocate a large amount of memory.
