CVE-2006-1066
Last modified
CVE-2006-1066 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Linux kernel 2.6.16-rc2 and earlier, when running on x86_64 systems with preemption enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) via multiple ptrace tasks that perform single steps, which can cause corruption of the DEBUG_STACK stack during the do_debug function call.. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
