The cifs_create function in fs/cifs/dir.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.33.2 and
earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a NULL
nameidata (aka nd) field in a POSIX file-creation request to a server that
supports UNIX extensions.
