Description: 
 load_elf_binary in Linux before 2.4.26 allows local users to cause a denial of
 service (system crash) via an ELF binary in which the interpreter is NULL.
Notes: 
 jmm> I don't know at which version this was merged into 2.6, but I've verified
 jmm> that above-mentioned fix is included in 2.6.8's binfmt_elf.c:
 jmm>  out_free_dentry:
 jmm>         allow_write_access(interpreter);
 jmm>       if (interpreter)
 jmm>            fput(interpreter);
