Linux Kernel <= 2.6.27.8 ATMSVC local DoS
net/atm/svc.c in the ATM subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.27.8 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) by making two calls to svc_listen for the same socket, and then reading a /proc/net/atm/*vc file, related to corruption of the vcc table.
Mitigation:
Apply the latest security patches and updates to the Linux kernel.
