kernel is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists through inconsistency in the methods for allocating and freeing NFSv4 ACL data; CVE-2010-4250 fix caused a regression; a flaw in next_pidmap() and inet_diag_bc_audit(); flaws in the CAN implementation; a race condition in the memory merging support; a flaw in the taskstats subsystem; and the way mapping expansions were handled could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
