Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for linux-2.6.


CVE-2008-1615[0]:
| Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, when running on
| AMD64 architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service
| (crash) via certain ptrace calls.

This issue affects the 2.6 kernels in Debian on amd64.

Steps to reproduce:
wget -O x86_64-cs.c http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/x86_64-cs.c?cvsroot=systemtap
gcc -o x86_64-cs x86_64-cs.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE
./x86_64-cs

Redhat used https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=294062
to patch this, unfortunately this patch does not work for > 
2.6.24 and I have no idea about porting it.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.
