A writer to /proc/pdc/led(?) can cause the kernel to consume an unbounded amount of stack, and result in stack corruption. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-parisc/msg02960.html If you need a CVE name, change the subject to indicate that. We are not requesting one as we do not support the PA-RISC architecture in our distribution.Debian supports hppa. Steven, please assign a CVE ID.
