The shmem_delete_inode function in mm/shmem.c in the tmpfs implementation
in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26.1 allows local users to cause a denial of
service (system crash) via a certain sequence of file create, remove, and
overwrite operations, as demonstrated by the insserv program, related to
allocation of “useless pages” and improper maintenance of the i_blocks
count.
