CVE ID:	CVE-2006-2451
Description:	The suid_dumpable support in Linux kernel 2.6.13 up to versions before 2.6.17.4, and 2.6.16 before 2.6.16.24, allows a local user to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) and possibly gain privileges via the PR_SET_DUMPABLE argument of the prctl function and a program that causes a core dump file to be created in a directory for which the user does not have permissions.
Test IDs:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.62560   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57060
