MiracleLinux 3 : kernel-2.6.18-348.1.AXS3 (AXSA:2013-80:01)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 290045

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:2013-80:01 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-2012-2372 The rds_ib_xmit function in net/rds/ib_send.c in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation in the Linux kernel 3.7.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and kernel panic) by establishing an RDS connection with the source IP address equal to the IPoIB interface's own IP address, as demonstrated by rds-ping.
 CVE-2012-3552 The IP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.0 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (slab corruption and system crash) by sending packets to an application that sets socket options during the handling of network traffic.
 CVE-2012-4508 Race condition in fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel before 3.4.16 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from a deleted file by reading an extent that was not properly marked as uninitialized.
 CVE-2012-4535 Xen 3.4 through 4.2, and possibly earlier versions, allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (Xen infinite loop and physical CPU consumption) by setting a VCPU with an inappropriate deadline.
 CVE-2012-4537 Xen 3.4 through 4.2, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly synchronize the p2m and m2p tables when the set_p2m_entry function fails, which allows local HVM guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and assertion failure), aka Memory mapping failure DoS vulnerability.
 CVE-2012-5513 The XENMEM_exchange handler in Xen 4.2 and earlier does not properly check the memory address, which allows local PV guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors that overwrite memory in the hypervisor reserved range.
 Fixed bugs:
 Modified the qla2xxx driver so that it now correctly detects all attached LUNs.
 The Media Independent Interfacestatus of the bond interface in 802.3ad appeared as up even when MII status of all of the slave devices was down. This has been fixed.
 Enhancements:
 Backported many changes from the bnx2x driver upstream version, in particular, the remote-fault link detection feature.
 The INET socket interface now sends a warning when a third-party module using the kmalloc() function allocates the ip_options structure.
 Please also check the changelog for extensive details.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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.
