Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-1065 advisory.- The instruction emulation in Xen 3.0.3 allows local SMP guest users to cause a denial of service (host crash) by replacing the instruction that causes the VM to exit in one thread with a different instruction in a different thread. (CVE-2011-1780)
- The qdisc_notify function in net/sched/sch_api.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent tc_fill_qdisc function calls referencing builtin (aka CQ_F_BUILTIN) Qdisc structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted call. (CVE-2011-2525)
- The gfs2_fallocate function in fs/gfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel before 3.0-rc1 does not ensure that the size of a chunk allocation is a multiple of the block size, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) by arranging for all resource groups to have too little free space.
(CVE-2011-2689)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
