Candidate: CVE-2008-0007
Description: 
 Linux kernel before 2.6.22.17, when using certain drivers that register
 a fault handler that does not perform range checks, allows local users
 to access kernel memory via an out-of-range offset.
References: 
Ubuntu-Description: 
 It was discovered that some device driver fault handlers did not
 correctly verify memory ranges.  A local attacker could exploit this
 to access sensitive kernel memory, possibly leading to a loss of privacy.
