stap-server in SystemTap 1.1 does not properly restrict the value of the -B (aka BUILD) option, which allows attackers to have an unspecified impact via vectors associated with executing the make program, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-4273.

Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker

It was found that systemtap runtime tool (staprun) did not properly enforce the module's path sanity check, when the ad-hoc module instrumentation via user-space probing with user-specified module path was requested. A local user, member of the 'stapusr' group could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
