Title:DSA-2254-2 oprofile -- command injection
Description:Jamie Strandboge noticed that the patch propoused to fix CVE-2011-1760 in OProfile has been incomplete. For reference, the description of the original DSA, is: OProfile is a performance profiling tool which is configurable by opcontrol, its control utility. Stephane Chauveau reported several ways to inject arbitrary commands in the arguments of this utility. If a local unprivileged user is authorised by sudoers file to run opcontrol as root, this user could use the flaw to escalate his privileges.
