The remote host missing an update for the 'systemtap' package(s) announced via referenced advisory. A flaw was found in the SystemTap compile server, stap-server, an optional component of SystemTap. This server did not adequately sanitize input provided by the stap-client program, which may allow a remote user to execute arbitrary shell code with privileges of the compile server process, which could possibly be running as the root user. A buffer overflow flaw was found in SystemTap's tapset __get_argv() function. If a privileged user ran a SystemTap script that called this function, a local, unprivileged user could, while that script is still running, trigger this flaw and cause memory corruption by running a command with a large argument list, which may lead to a system crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with root privileges

  A flaw was found in the SystemTap compile server, stap-server, an optional
  component of SystemTap. This server did not adequately sanitize input
  provided by the stap-client program, which may allow a remote user to
  execute arbitrary shell code with the privileges of the compile server
  process, which could possibly be running as the root user. (CVE-2009-4273)

  Note: stap-server is not run by default. It must be started by a user or
  administrator.

  A buffer overflow flaw was found in SystemTap's tapset __get_argv()
  function. If a privileged user ran a SystemTap script that called this
  function, a local, unprivileged user could, while that script is still
  running, trigger this flaw and cause memory corruption by running a command
  with a large argument list, which may lead to a system crash or,
  potentially, arbitrary code execution with root privileges. (CVE-2010-0411)

  Note: SystemTap scripts that call __get_argv(), being a privileged
  function, can only be executed by the root user or users in the stapdev
  group. As well, if such a script was compiled and installed by root, users
  in the stapusr group would also be able to execute it.

  backported patches to correct these issues.");
