Candidate: CVE-2005-1763
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?
