| Description |
| Race condition in the ptrace and utrace support in the Linux kernel
2.6.9 through 2.6.25, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4,
allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) via a long
series of PTRACE_ATTACH ptrace calls to another user's process that
trigger a conflict between utrace_detach and report_quiescent, related
to "late ptrace_may_attach() check" and "race around &dead_engine_ops
setting," a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-0771 and
CVE-2008-1514. NOTE: this issue might only affect kernel versions
before 2.6.16.x.
