Candidate: CVE-2009-0935
Description:
 The inotify_read function in the Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.29-rc3
 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a read
 with an invalid address to an inotify instance, which causes the
 device's event list mutex to be unlocked twice and prevents proper
 synchronization of a data structure for the inotify instance.
