Title:	Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2012-54)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'systemtap' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2012-54 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'systemtap' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2012-54 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: An invalid pointer read flaw was found in the way SystemTap handled malformed debugging information in DWARF format. When SystemTap unprivileged mode was enabled, an unprivileged user in the stapusr group could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, read arbitrary kernel memory. Additionally, a privileged user (root, or a member of the stapdev group) could trigger this flaw when tricked into instrumenting a specially-crafted ELF binary, even when unprivileged mode was not enabled. (CVE-2012-0875) Affected Software/OS: 'systemtap' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.4 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:C
