+Candidate: CVE-2009-0787
+Description:
+ The ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents function in the eCryptfs
+ functionality in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.9 uses an
+ incorrect size when writing kernel memory to an eCryptfs file
+ header, which triggers an out-of-bounds read and allows local
+ local users to obtain portions of kernel memory.
