A denial of service exists in Linux kernels, as related to Unix domain
sockets ignoring limits as set in /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max. By creating
successive Unix domain sockets, it is possible to cause a denial of
service in some versions of the Linux kernel. Versions 2.2.12, 2.2.14, and
2.3.99-pre2 have all been confirmed as being vulnerable. Previous kernel
versions are most likely vulnerable
