runtime/staprun/staprun_funcs.c in the systemtap runtime tool (staprun) in SystemTap before 1.6 does not properly validate modules when a module path is specified by a user for user-space probing, which allows local users in the stapusr group to gain privileges via a crafted module in the search path in the -u argument.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local privilege escalation flaw in SystemTap's staprun tool. A user already on the machine and in the stapusr group could potentially gain higher privileges on systems running SystemTap before 1.6. Exposure is most likely on older Linux hosts with SystemTap installed before version 1.6 and non-admin users granted stapusr membership. General servers without SystemTap or without stapusr users are less likely exposed. Treat as a targeted local privilege risk, not a broad emergency. Prioritize remediation where SystemTap is installed and shared users or developers have stapusr access. Mitigation focus: Upgrade SystemTap to version 1.6 or a vendor-fixed package.; Remove unnecessary users from the stapusr group.; Restrict SystemTap use to trusted administrators where operationally possible..
