Description: 
 Race condition in Linux kernel 2.6.15 to 2.6.17, when running on SMP
 platforms, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by
 creating and exiting a large number of tasks, then accessing the /proc
 entry of a task that is exiting, which causes memory corruption that
 leads to a failure in the prune_dcache function or a BUG_ON error in
 include/linux/list.h.
