Candidate: CVE-2007-3719
References: 
Description: 
 The process scheduler in the Linux kernel 2.6.16 gives preference to
 "interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which allows local
 users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption), as described in
 "Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Superuser Privileges."
