high Nessus Plugin ID 284325

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:2010-426:13 advisory.

 The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc.
 Security issues fixed in this release:
 CVE-2010-1084 Linux kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.33, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a large number of Bluetooth sockets, related to the size of sysfs files in:
 (1) net/bluetooth/l2cap.c, (2) net/bluetooth/rfcomm/core.c, (3) net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, (4) net/bluetooth/sco.c.
 CVE-2010-2070 arch/ia64/xen/faults.c in Xen 3.4 and 4.0 in Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other kernel versions, when running on IA-64 architectures, allows local users to cause a denial of service and turn on BE by modifying the user mask of the PSR, as demonstrated via exploitation of CVE-2006-0742.
 CVE-2010-2066 CVE-2010-2226 CVE-2010-2248 CVE-2010-2521 CVE-2010-2524 No information available at the time of writing, see the links below.
