Candidate: CVE-2007-6206
Description: 
 Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x up to 2.6.24-rc3, and possibly other versions,
 does not change the UID of a core dump file if it exists before a root process
 creates a core dump in the same location, which might allow local users to
 obtain sensitive information.
