 Ubuntu-Description: 
+ The minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem values.
+ If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting to mount a

 Description: 
+ The (1) hugetlb_vmtruncate_list and (2) hugetlb_vmtruncate functions
+ in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19-rc4 perform
+ certain prio_tree calculations using HPAGE_SIZE instead of PAGE_SIZE
+ units, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic)
+ via unspecified vectors.
 Ubuntu-Description: 
+ Certain calculations in the hugetlb code were not correct.  A local
+ attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel panic, leading to a denial
+ of service.
 Notes: 
  jmm> 2.4 doesn't contain hugetlbfs
