Name : systemtap Product : Fedora 14 Version : 1.4 Release : 6.fc14 URL : http://sourceware.org/systemtap/ Summary : Instrumentation System Description : SystemTap is an instrumentation system for systems running Linux 2.6. Developers can write instrumentation to collect data on the operation of the system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Two divide-by-zero flaws were found in the way systemtap interpreted certain corrupted DWARF expressions. A privileged user able to execute arbitrary systemtap scripts could be tricked into triggering this flaw to crash the target machine. An unprivileged user (in the stapusr group) may be able to trigger this flaw to crash the target machine, only if unprivileged mode was enabled by the system administrator. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed May 18 2011 Frank Ch.
