Secure testing team - Feb 2010 - Bug#568865: CVE-2009-4273: stap-server in SystemTap before 1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in stap command-line arguments in a request

Package: systemtap
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: serious
Tags: security

Version 1.0-2 should not be released with this bug. Version 1.1-1 in
experimental should fix this, but stap-server there does not work on
Debian (user RedHat-specific shell scripts).
