NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream systemtap-grapher package and not the systemtap-grapher package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 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).
