+Description:
+ The Linux kernel 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 does not properly handle an invalid LDT
+ segment selector in %cs (the xcs field) during ptrace single-step operations,
+ which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference and
+ OOPS) via certain code that makes ptrace PTRACE_SETREGS and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP
+ requests, related to the TRACE_IRQS_ON function, and possibly related to the
+ arch_ptrace function.
+Ubuntu-Description:
+ Evan Teran discovered that the Linux kernel ptrace routines did not
+ correctly handle certain requests robustly. Local attackers could
+ exploit this to crash the system, causing a denial of service.
+Notes:
+ dannf> Note that the description is somewhat misleading - I can reproduce
+ on 2.6.18, so its not limited to 2.6.20 and 2.6.21
