Summary

Multiple integer signedness errors in the (1) __get_argv and (2) __get_compat_argv functions in tapset/aux_syscalls.stp in SystemTap 1.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service (script crash, or system crash or hang) via a process with a large number of arguments, leading to a buffer overflow.
