CVE-2010-4250
Memory leak in the inotify_init() system call. In some cases,
it could leak a group, which could allow a local, unprivileged
user to eventually cause a denial of service.
This issue was introduced in maverick. Fixes have since hit maverick
and later via mainline and stable. Following this email is a patch for
maverick/ti-omap4. This is a simple cherry-pick from the mainline fix.
Proposng for maveric/ti-omap4.
