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-2010-0271 advisory.

- libspice, as used in QEMU-KVM in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (aka RHEV-H or rhev- hypervisor) before 5.5-2.2 and possibly other products, allows guest OS users to read from or write to arbitrary QEMU memory by modifying the address that is used by Cairo for memory mappings. (CVE-2010-0430)

- The virtio_net_bad_features function in hw/virtio-net.c in the virtio-net driver in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26, when used on a guest OS in conjunction with qemu-kvm 0.11.0 or KVM 83, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash, and an associated qemu-kvm process exit) by sending a large amount of network traffic to a TCP port on the guest OS, related to a virtio-net whitelist that includes an improper implementation of TCP Segment Offloading (TSO). (CVE-2010-0741)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
