Hi,
I didn't file a bug for this as it lacks too much information:
A week ago SuSE released an advisory for their kernels:
http://www.novell.com/linux/security/advisories/2005_44_kernel.html

Among others they fixed this:
- local users could crash the system by causing stack fault
  exceptions (CAN-2005-1767)

  SUSE Linux 9.0 and SLES8 are affected.

Is this SuSE specific? I couldn't find more information about it?

Cheers,
        Moritz
