The futex_wait function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37
does not properly maintain a certain reference count during requeue
operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
(use-after-free and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted
application that triggers a zero count.
