Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 0.9.6
Release     : 21.fc14
URL         : http://oprofile.sf.net
Summary     : System wide profiler
Description :
OProfile is a profiling system for systems running Linux. The
profiling runs transparently during the background, and profile data
can be collected at any time. OProfile makes use of the hardware performance
counters provided on Intel P6, and AMD Athlon family processors, and can use
the RTC for profiling on other x86 processor types.

See the HTML documentation for further details.

Update Information:

When opcontrol was run by a normal user with sudo access it was possible for
 the user to craft options to opcontrol that would allow commands to be run with root privileges.
