CVE-2011-2918
Under certain circumstances software event overflows go wrong and
deadlock. Avoid trying to delete a timer from the timer callback.
The fix for this has hit P, oneiric, and lucid via mainline and stable.
Following this email are patches for natty, natty/ti-omap4, maverick,
maverick/ti-omap4, and lucid/fsl-imx51. They are simple backports from
the stable updates.
Proposing for natty, natty/ti-omap4, maverick, maverick/ti-omap4, and
lucid/fsl-imx51.
