The remote host is missing an update for the 'systemtap' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. An invalid pointer read flaw was found in the way SystemTap handled malformed debugging information in DWARF format. SystemTap users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue

  An invalid pointer read flaw was found in the way SystemTap handled
  malformed debugging information in DWARF format. When SystemTap
  unprivileged mode was enabled, an unprivileged user in the stapusr group
  could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, read arbitrary
  kernel memory. Additionally, a privileged user (root, or a member of the
  stapdev group) could trigger this flaw when tricked into instrumenting a
  specially-crafted ELF binary, even when unprivileged mode was not enabled.
