## Description

Integer overflow in the do\_io\_submit function in fs/aio.c in the Linux
kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-next-20100915 allows local users to cause a denial
of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted use of the
io\_submit system call.

### From the Ubuntu Security Team

Tavis Ormandy discovered that the AIO subsystem did not correctly validate
certain parameters. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the system
or possibly gain root privileges.
