CVE-2009-0935

The inotify_read function in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 to 2.6.27.13, 2.6.28
to 2.6.28.2, and 2.6.29-rc3 allows local users to cause a denial of service
(OOPS) via a read with an invalid address to an inotify instance, which
causes the device’s event list mutex to be unlocked twice and prevents
proper synchronization of a data structure for the inotify instance.
