Last modified
CVE-2005-3783 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ptrace functionality (ptrace.c) in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.14.2, using CLONE_THREAD, does not use the thread group ID to check whether it is attaching to itself, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
