Description David Walser 2012-04-09 00:40:03 CEST 
RedHat issued this advisory on March 8:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0376.html

Only systemtap >= 1.4 is affected, so Mageia 1 is not vulnerable, according to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795913

A link to a patch to fix this is provided in that Bug.
