Synopsis

The remote Virtuozzo host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the vzkernel package and the readykernel-patch installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

- [3.10.0-693.21.1.vz7.46.7 to 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.86.2] megaraid_sas: potential kernel crash due to a NULL pointer dereference in megasas_free_cmds(). A flaw was found in 'megaraid_sas' kernel module. NULL pointer dereference can occur in megasas_free_cmds() function due incorrect error handling in megasas_alloc_cmds().
An attacker could exploit this to trigger a kernel crash.
