**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 3.2.10 **Description** The issue is related to the regset feature in the Linux kernel, which does not properly handle the absence of .get and .set methods. This can allow local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a (1) PTRACE GETREGSET or (2) PTRACE SETREGSET ptrace call. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.2.10, update to version 3.2.10 or later to resolve the issue.
