Part of one of the workarounds for Dirty COW is to disable ptrace.

ptrace is generally needed by debuggers.

I am team lead for L2 support at a company which makes a debugger.

RedHat are now shipping this workaround.

    DirtyCOW allows other users to do sudo commands on a machine. If you are using your own machine that is highly unlikely (unless you download and run some suspicious software) so you can skip that update until they actually fix this :)

    @arekxv RedHat are shipping it out to all their customers. It's beyond my control D:
