A certain Red Hat patch to the do_filp_open function in fs/namei.c in the
kernel package before 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) 6 does not properly handle failure to obtain write permissions,
which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by
leveraging access to a filesystem that is mounted read-only.
