-References: 
- http://www.novell.com/linux/security/advisories/2005_29_kernel.html
-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.
- dannf> The question is, does this affect other 64-bit archs?
