SystemTap 1.7, 1.6.7, and probably other versions, when unprivileged mode is enabled, allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (kernel panic and crash) via vectors related to crafted DWARF data, which triggers a read of an invalid pointer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0875 is a local SystemTap flaw. If unprivileged SystemTap use is enabled, a local user could trigger reads from invalid kernel memory, potentially exposing sensitive kernel data or crashing the system. The available sources do not show internet-remote exposure or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on Linux hosts with vulnerable SystemTap packages installed and unprivileged mode enabled. Systems without local untrusted users, without SystemTap, or without unprivileged SystemTap access have reduced practical exposure. Treat this as a targeted Linux hardening and patching item, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize shared servers, research systems, and environments where untrusted local users may run SystemTap-related tooling. Mitigation focus: Apply vendor SystemTap updates from relevant Red Hat or SUSE advisories.; Disable unprivileged SystemTap mode where it is not operationally required.; Limit local shell access on systems that run SystemTap..
