CVE-2009-1914 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1914):
  The pci_register_iommu_region function in
  arch/sparc/kernel/pci_common.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29 on
  the sparc64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service
  (system crash) by reading the /proc/iomem file, related to
  uninitialized pointers and the request_resource function.

Note that the path to the file is "arch/sparc64/kernel/pci_common.c" in kernels prior to 2.6.29.
