CAN-2005-2553 describes the following DoS vulnerability:

> The find_target function in ptrace32.c in the Linux kernel 2.4.x
> before 2.4.29 does not properly handle a NULL return value from
> another function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
> (kernel crash/oops) by running a 32-bit ltrace program with the
> -i option on a 64-bit executable program.                                     
>
