The mountpoint_last function in fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before
3.15.8 does not properly maintain a certain reference count during attempts
to use the umount system call in conjunction with a symlink, which allows
local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or
use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via the umount
program.
