Bug Description

The robust futex implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28 does not properly handle processes that make exec system calls, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges by writing to a memory location in a child process.

Break-Fix: - 8141c7f3e7aee618312fa1c15109e1219de784a7
Break-Fix: - fc6b177dee33365ccb29fe6d2092223cf8d679f9
