Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-15 12:55:52 UTC 
CVE-2008-3535 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3535):
  Off-by-one error in the iov_iter_advance function in mm/filemap.c in the
  Linux kernel before 2.6.27-rc2 allows local users to cause a denial of
  service (system crash) via a certain sequence of file I/O operations with
  readv and writev, as demonstrated by testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest03 from
  the Linux Test Project.

PS: genpatches-2.6.25-10 included the 2.6.25.14 patch and genpatches-2.6.26-2
included the 2.6.26.1 patch
