CVE-2009-3620 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3620):
  The ATI Rage 128 (aka r128) driver in the Linux kernel before
  2.6.31-git11 does not properly verify Concurrent Command Engine (CCE)
  state initialization, which allows local users to cause a denial of
  service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain
  privileges via unspecified ioctl calls.
