+Description: 
+ Linux kernel before 2.6.18, when running on x86_64 systems, does not
+ properly save or restore EFLAGS during a context switch, which allows
+ local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing SYSENTER
+ to set an NT flag, which can trigger a crash on the IRET of the next
+ task.
+Ubuntu-Description: 
+ The task switching code did not save and restore EFLAGS of processes.
+ By starting a specially crafted executable, a local attacker could
+ exploit this to eventually crash many other running processes. This
+ only affects the amd64 platform.
