CVE ID:	CVE-2011-2928
Description:	The befs_follow_link function in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1-rc3 does not validate the length attribute of long symlinks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and OOPS) by accessing a long symlink on a malformed Be filesystem.
Test IDs:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.1.2011.2310
