CVE-2011-1090
The __nfs4_proc_set_acl function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the
Linux kernel before 2.6.38 stores NFSv4 ACL data in memory that is
allocated by kmalloc but not properly freed, which allows local
users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted attempt
to set an ACL.

This has already been fixed for all releases after hardy. Following
this email is a backport of this fix for hardy. This is a relaivly
simple re-application of the original.

Proposing for hardy.
