CVE-2010-0411: Multiple integer signedness errors in the (1) __get_argv and (2) __get_compat_argv functions in tapset/aux_syscalls.stp in SystemTap 1.1 all
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 19/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.94% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 60.8% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: systemtap (Debian:12) 1.2-1; systemtap (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 3.0-1.6; systemtap (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as) 0:0.6.2-2.el4_8.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to systemtap (Debian:12) 1.2-1; systemtap (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 3.0-1.6; systemtap (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as) 0:0.6.2-2.el4_8.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Multiple integer signedness errors in the (1) __get_argv and (2) __get_compat_argv functions in tapset/aux_syscalls.stp in SystemTap 1.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service (script crash, or system crash or hang) via a process with a large number of arguments, leading to a buffer overflow.
