CVE-2011-1769: Divide by Zero
First published: Fri May 06 2011(Updated: )
A flaw was discovered in systemtap's handling of DWARF expressions where it did not guard against two cases of divide by zero. This can result in a kernel div-by-zero message and possible busywait during stap module shutdown. A div-by-zero could cause the kernel to panic and if the kernel reboot on panic flag was set (panic_on_oops), it would cause the system to reboot. In order to trigger this flaw, it would require a user with staprun or stapdev group membership (or root privileges) to run a particular stap script operation on a hand-corrupted elf program.
