CVE ID:	CVE-2012-3375
Description:	The epoll_ctl system call in fs/eventpoll.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.24 does not properly handle ELOOP errors in EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (file-descriptor consumption and system crash) via a crafted application that attempts to create a circular epoll dependency. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-1083.
Test IDs:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.123869   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.123868
