Description: 
 Unknown vulnerability in the Linux kernel before 2.4.23, on the AMD AMD64 and
 Intel EM64T architectures, associated with "setting up TSS limits," allows
 local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute
 arbitrary code.
Notes: 
 jmm> I've verified that above bkbits fixed is included in 2.6.8, so I'm
 jmm> marking 2.6 N/A
 jmm> The vulnerable code doesn't seem to be present in 2.4.27. Plus, 2.4
 jmm> is unsupported for amd64 anyway, so I'm marking it N/A as well for
 jmm> the 2.4 kernels
