MiracleLinux 3 : xen-3.0.3-41.7AXS3 (AXSA:2008-256:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 283946

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2008-256:01 advisory.

 This package contains the Xen tools and management daemons needed to run virtual machines on x86, x86_64, and ia64 systems.
 Information on how to use Xen can be found at the Xen project pages.
 The Xen system also requires the Xen hypervisor and domain-0 kernel, which can be found in the kernel-xen* package.
 Virtualization can be used to run multiple operating systems on one physical system, for purposes of hardware consolidation, hardware abstraction, or to test untrusted applications in a sandboxed environment.
