Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id	Description
69490	SystemTap /usr/bin/staprun Arbitrary Unused Module Unloading Local DoS SystemTap contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when a flaw in '/usr/bin/staprun' when unloading kernel modules is exploited to unload unused modules, which will result in loss of availability.
69489	SystemTap /usr/bin/staprun Kernel Module Loading Local Privilege Escalation SystemTap contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when /usr/bin/staprun fails to properly sanitize the environment before loading an additional kernel module. This allows a local attacker to escalate their privileges.
