What is CVE-2008-2365?
A vulnerability exists within the Linux kernel versions 2.6.9 to 2.6.25 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4, stemming from a race condition in ptrace and utrace support. Local users can exploit this vulnerability by executing a long sequence of PTRACE_ATTACH ptrace calls on another user's process, leading to a denial of service condition. This occurs due to a conflict in handling process attachment and detachment, specifically around the checks for process states, which can cause system instability. This issue does not affect the kernel versions post-2.6.16.x.
