__futex_atomic_op1, __futex_atomic_op2, and futex_atomic_cmpxchg-_inatomic() macros replaced the LOCK prefix with a NOP instruction. This can cause the exceptions to not match the exception table fault fixup. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. This is assigned with CVE-2010-3086. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2010-3086 http://git.kernel.org/linus/9d55b9923a1b7ea8193b8875c57ec940dc2ff027 Thanks, Eugene
