CVE-2010-4171  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 systemtap to version 1.2-3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream systemtap package and not the systemtap package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The staprun runtime tool in SystemTap 1.3 does not verify that a module to unload was previously loaded by SystemTap, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (unloading of arbitrary kernel modules).
