** Description changed:

- If uaddr == uaddr2, then we have broken the rule of only requeueing from
- a non-pi futex to a pi futex with this call. If we attempt this, then
- dangling pointers may be left for rt_waiter resulting in an exploitable
- condition.
+ The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through
+ 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses,
+ which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE
+ command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.
