     [PATCH] Make sure interleave masks have at least one node set

     Otherwise a bad mem policy system call can confuse the interleaving
     code into referencing undefined nodes.

     I was told it's CVE-2005-3358
     (one has to love these security people - they make everything sound
      important)
