CVE-2010-0623 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0623):
  The futex_lock_pi function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel
  before 2.6.33-rc7 does not properly manage a certain reference count,
  which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via
  vectors involving an unmount of an ext3 filesystem.
