+Description: 
+ The sys_timer_create function in posix-timers.c for Linux kernel 2.6.x
+ allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) and
+ possibly bypass memory limits or cause other processes to be killed by
+ creating a large number of posix timers, which are allocated in kernel
+ memory but are not treated as part of the process' memory.
