Linux Kernel 2.6.3 - 'setsockopt' Local Denial of Service

/* setsockopt proof of concept code by Julien TINNES (julien a.t cr0.org)
vulnerability found (as always by Paul Starzetz

This is only a lame POC which will crash the machine, no root shell here.
Maybe later, when everybody will have an updated box.

It should work on 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 kernels.

Greets to Christophe Devine, too bad you wasn't with me for this one.
