Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2011-362:08 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 with this release:
CVE-2009-4067 CVE-2011-1160 CVE-2011-1585 CVE-2011-1833 No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE links below.
CVE-2011-2484 The add_del_listener function in kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.39.1 and earlier does not prevent multiple registrations of exit handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption), and bypass the OOM Killer, via a crafted application.
CVE-2011-2496 No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE links below.
CVE-2011-2695 Multiple off-by-one errors in the ext4 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.0-rc5 allow local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and system crash) by accessing a sparse file in extent format with a write operation involving a block number corresponding to the largest possible 32-bit unsigned integer.
CVE-2011-2699 No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE links below.
CVE-2011-2723 The skb_gro_header_slow function in include/linux/netdevice.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4, when Generic Receive Offload (GRO) is enabled, resets certain fields in incorrect situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted network traffic.
CVE-2011-2942 CVE-2011-3131 CVE-2011-3188 CVE-2011-3191 CVE-2011-3209 CVE-2011-3347 No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE links below.
