The Linux kernel before 2.6.37 does not properly implement a certain clock-update optimization, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via an application that executes code in a loop.
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
