Maybe something like the following for rhel 6.2 release notes:

SystemTap

SystemTap is a tracing and probing tool that allows users to study and
monitor the activities of the operating system (particularly, the
kernel) in fine detail. It provides information similar to the output
of tools like netstat, ps, top, and iostat; however, SystemTap is
designed to provide more filtering and analysis options for collected
information.  SystemTap in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 is updated to
version 1.6, providing:

   * Security fixes for CVE-2011-2503: read instead of mmap to load modules,
     CVE-2011-2502: Don't allow path-based auth for uprobes
   * Security fixes for CVE-2011-1781, CVE-2011-1769: correct DW_OP_{mod,div}
     division-by-zero bug
   * Handle kernel modules with "-" in name such as "i2c-core" properly
   * process.mark now supports $$parms for reading probe parameters.
   * Improved, simplified operation of the compile-server and client:
     -compile-server may cache scripts build results for improved performance
     -compile-server and client communicate exchange version info to
      adjust communication protocol and use newest version of server possible
     -The "--remote USER@HOST" functionality can now be specified multiple
      times and will automatically build the script for distinct kernel and
      architecture configurations.
     -Removal of deprecated tools: stap-client, stap-authorize-server-cert,
      stap-authorize-signing-cert, stap-find-or-start-server, and
      stap-find-servers.
   * Staprun allow multiple instance of the same script to run at same time.

    Technical note updated. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
