    SystemTap is an instrumentation system for systems running Linux 2.6.  Developers can write
    instrumentation to collect data on the operation of the system.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-1769
    SystemTap 1.4 and earlier, when unprivileged (aka stapusr) mode is enabled, allows local users to cause a
    denial of service (divide-by-zero error and OOPS) via a crafted ELF program with DWARF expressions that
    are not properly handled by a stap script that performs context variable access.
    CVE-2011-1781
    SystemTap 1.4, when unprivileged (aka stapusr) mode is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (divide-by-zero error and OOPS) via a crafted ELF program with DWARF expressions that are not
    properly handled by a stap script that performs stack unwinding (aka backtracing).
    CVE-2011-2502
    CVE-2011-2503
    No description available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE links below.
    Fixed bugs:
     - SystemTap has been rebased on version 1.4. It includes several enhancements and bug fixes. This
    includes better diagnostics for backtracing, access to more kernel tracepoints, wildcards in
    process(/bin/*) probes, improved sys/sdt.h userspace markers, integrated compile-server client, and
    automatic pretty-printing of structures ($variable$).
     - SystemTap would fail to remove the module directory created by the debugfs debugger when the system ran
    out of memeory in a module. SystemTap was thus unable to relaod the module unless the system was rebooted
    and it woudl sometimes lead to a kernel panic. This has been fixed.
     - In some unusual situations, the probe module would send error and warning messages too fast for some
    buffers. Some of the messages could get lost and lead to a kernel panic. This has been fixed.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
