kernel, version 2.6. Developers can write scripts to collect data on the
operation of the system.
A divide-by-zero 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. 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.
(CVE-2011-1769)
SystemTap users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.");
