CVE-2010-1146 kernel: reiserfs priv escalation

[Eugene Teo <eugeneteo () kernel sg>]

Credit: Matt McCutchen. The kernel allows processes to access the 
internal ".reiserfs_priv" directory at the top of a reiserfs filesystem 
which is used to store xattrs. Permissions are not enforced in that 
tree, so unprivileged users can view and potentially modify the xattrs 
on arbitrary files.
