CVE ID:	CVE-2011-1083
Description:	The epoll implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.37.2 and earlier does not properly traverse a tree of epoll file descriptors, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted application that makes epoll_create and epoll_ctl system calls.
Test IDs:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71430   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.4.2015.0652.1   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.123968   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71114   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.123971   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.881076   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.870787
