Name        : systemtap
Product     : Fedora 13
Version     : 1.4
Release     : 6.fc13
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.
