Description:
 Memory leak in the seq_file implementation in the SCSI procfs interface
 (sg.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.13 and earlier allows local users to cause a
 denial of service (memory consumption) via certain repeated reads from the
 /proc/scsi/sg/devices file, which is not properly handled when the next()
 iterator returns NULL or an error.
