+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>Not all information in the struct ptrace_lwpinfo is
+	relevant for the state of any thread, and the kernel does
+	not fill the irrelevant bytes or short strings. Since the
+	structure filled by the kernel is allocated on the kernel
+	stack and copied to userspace, a leak of information of the
+	kernel stack of the thread is possible from the debugger.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>Some bytes from the kernel stack of the thread using
+	ptrace(PT_LWPINFO) call can be observed in userspace.</p>
