Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-09 21:41:43 UTC 
CVE-2008-3077 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3077):
  arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.10 on the x86_64
  platform leaks task_struct references into the sys32_ptrace function, which
  allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or have
  unspecified other impact via unknown vectors, possibly a use-after-free
  vulnerability.

hardened-kernel unaffected at present time. Removing alias.

PS: Anything using >=genpatches-2.6.25-8 is unaffected
