Linux Kernel __SetLease Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is due to a design error in the '__setlease' function.

This vulnerability allows local users to leak kernel memory, potentially resulting in a kernel panic, denying further service to legitimate users.

This issue affects Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.16.16.
