Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2011-10-08 13:32:25 UTC
CVE-2011-1781 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-1781):
  SystemTap 1.4, when unprivileged (aka stapusr) mode is enabled, allows local
  users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and OOPS) via a
  crafted ELF program with DWARF expressions that are not properly handled by
  a stap script that performs stack unwinding (aka backtracing).


Please punt vulnerable ebuilds.

  SystemTap 1.4 and earlier, when unprivileged (aka stapusr) mode is enabled,
  allows local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and
  OOPS) via a crafted ELF program with DWARF expressions that are not properly
  handled by a stap script that performs context variable access.
