Double free vulnerability in the utrace support in the Linux kernel,
probably 2.6.18, in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and Fedora Core 6
(FC6) allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops), as
demonstrated by a crash when running the GNU GDB testsuite, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2008-2365.
