CVE-2009-4027 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-4027):
  Race condition in the mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before
  2.6.32-rc8-next-20091201 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (system crash) via a Delete Block ACK (aka DELBA) packet that
  triggers a certain state change in the absence of an aggregation
  session.

@Kernel: Please back-port these patches in the next 2.6.31 release.
