Description: 
 Buffer overflow in ptrace in the Linux Kernel for 64-bit architectures allows
 local users to write bytes into kernel memory.
Notes: 
 dannf> The patch we have is only for x86_64.  This code was very different
 dannf> in 2.4, and we don't ship 2.4/amd64, so we can probably drop this one.
