CVE-2010-0415 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0415):
  The do_pages_move function in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before
  2.6.33-rc7 does not validate node values, which allows local users to
  read arbitrary kernel memory locations, cause a denial of service
  (OOPS), and possibly have unspecified other impact by specifying a
  node that is not part of the kernel's node set.
