Description: 
 Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service
 (memory exhaustion and panic) by creating a large number of connected
 file descriptors or socketpairs and setting a large data transfer
 buffer, then preventing Linux from being able to finish the transfer
 by causing the process to become a zombie, or closing the file
 descriptor without closing an associated reference.
Notes: 
5~ dannf> The fix suggested by idefense includes adding a struct user reference
 dannf> to struct file.  No such thing has gone upstream yet, however.
