**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.33-rc7 **Description** The issue is related to the futex lock pi function in kernel/futex.c, which does not properly manage a certain reference count. This allows local users to cause a denial of service via vectors involving an unmount of an ext3 filesystem. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.33-rc7, update to version 2.6.33-rc7 or later to resolve the issue.
