CVE-2013-2929
Published: 09 December 2013
The Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly use the get_dumpable function, which allows local users to bypass intended ptrace restrictions or obtain sensitive information from IA64 scratch registers via a crafted application, related to kernel/ptrace.c and arch/ia64/include/asm/processor.h.
From the Ubuntu security team
Vasily Kulikov reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's implementation of ptrace. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory.

Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| mdeslaur | likely ia64 only, need to check |
| apw | the ptrace piece is arch non-specific so this applies across the board |
