CVE-2005-3783
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).

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
