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.

CVE-2008-5134 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Hugo Dias discovered that the ATM subsystem did not correctly manage socket
counts. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system hang, leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5079)
It was discovered that the libertas wireless driver did not correctly
handle beacon and probe responses. A physically near-by attacker could
generate specially crafted wireless network traffic and cause a denial of
service. Ubuntu 6.06 was not affected. (CVE-2008-5134)
It was discovered that the inotify subsystem contained watch removal race
conditions. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5182)
