DESCRIPTION
* Memory leak when freeing thread group statistics structures.
Under certain circumstances, memory can be leaked when attempting to
free taskstats structures for a thread group. This flaw could
potentially be exploited to waste system resources and degrade
performance, or to cause a denial-of-service.
