The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200402-06 (Updated kernel packages fix the AMD64 ptrace vulnerability)
A vulnerability has been discovered by Andi Kleen in the ptrace emulation code for AMD64 platforms when eflags are processed, allowing a local user to obtain elevated privileges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project, http://cve.mitre.org, has assigned CAN-2004-0001 to this issue.
Impact :
Only users of the AMD64 platform are affected: in this scenario, a user may be able to obtain elevated privileges, including root access. However, no public exploit is known for the vulnerability at this time.
Workaround :
There is no temporary workaround - a kernel upgrade is required. A list of unaffected kernels is provided along with this announcement.
