Problem Description:
Two root exploits have been reported:
http://milw0rm.com/exploits/5093
http://milw0rm.com/exploits/5092

Both exploits cause kernel Oops or (randomly) give root privilegies to the user.

Here is the same bug reported in gentoo bugzilla:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209460

Steps to reproduce:
Compile and run the exploit.
