CVE-2005-3783

Publication date 23 November 2005

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

The ptrace functionality (ptrace.c) in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.14.2, using CLONE_THREAD, does not use the thread group ID to check whether it is attaching to itself, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).
