Some vulnerabilities have been reported in SystemTap, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and potentially gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the
"__get_argv()" and "__get_compat_argv()" functions in
tapset/aux_syscall.stp, which can be exploited to e.g. cause a system
crash.
