Description of problem: Zoltan Sogor noticed this VFS behaviour while testing UBIFS. Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on disk, even after all external references have gone away.
This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can overflow.

The sndseqosssynthmakeinfo function in sound/core/seq/oss/seqosssynth.c in the sound subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27-rc2 does not verify that the device number is within the range defined by maxsynthdev before returning certain data to the caller, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
Multiple buffer overflows in Python 2.5.2 and earlier on 32bit platforms allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or have unspecified other impact via a long string that leads to incorrect memory allocation during Unicode string processing, related to the unicoderesize function and the PyMemRESIZE macro.

Memory leak in the ipip6rcv function in net/ipv6/sit.c in the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.36.5 and 2.6 before 2.6.25.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via network traffic to a Simple Internet Transition (SIT) tunnel interface, related to the pskbmaypull and kfreeskb functions, and management of an skb reference count.
The GENERATESEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5, when running on 64-bit systems, performs a multiplication that generates a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision, which produces 24 bits of entropy and simplifies brute force attacks against protection mechanisms that use the rand and mtrand functions.
Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors that cause a negative size value to be provided to the PyStringFromStringAndSize function, which allocates less memory than expected when assert() is disabled and triggers a buffer overflow.
