The (1) real_lookup and (2) __lookup_hash functions in fs/namei.c in the vfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.15 do not prevent creation of a child dentry for a deleted (aka S_DEAD) directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service ("overflow" of the UBIFS orphan area) via a series of attempted file creations within deleted directories.

CVE-2008-3272 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
It was discovered that there were multiple NULL-pointer function
dereferences in the Linux kernel terminal handling code. A local attacker
could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as root, or crash the system,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2812)
The do_change_type routine did not correctly validation administrative
users. A local attacker could exploit this to block mount points or cause
private mounts to be shared, leading to denial of service or a possible
loss of privacy. (CVE-2008-2931)
Tobias Klein discovered that the OSS interface through ALSA did not
correctly validate the device number. A local attacker could exploit this
to access sensitive kernel memory, leading to a denial of service or
