This has been discovered before (or at least a similar vulnerability) by
w00w00, but there wasn't anything useful (as far as elevating privileges
go) that was using it at the time.  So, unless you can name any suid/sgid
programs using it that will allow the elevation of privileges for
something meaningful, I think the severity is low.
