"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2008-531:11 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.
    Fixed bugs
    CVE-2008-2372
    The Linux kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory
    consumption) via a large number of calls to the get_user_pages function, which lacks a ZERO_PAGE
    optimization and results in allocation of useless newly zeroed pages.
    CVE-2008-3276
    Integer overflow in the dccp_setsockopt_change function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Datagram Congestion
    Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.17-rc1 through 2.6.26.2 allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted integer value, related to Change L and Change R options
    without at least one byte in the dccpsf_val field.
    CVE-2008-3527
    arch/i386/kernel/sysenter.c in the Virtual Dynamic Shared Objects (vDSO) implementation in the Linux
    kernel before 2.6.21 does not properly check boundaries, which allows local users to gain privileges or
    cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors, related to the install_special_mapping, syscall, and
    syscall32_nopage functions.
    CVE-2008-3833
    The generic_file_splice_write function in fs/splice.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 does not properly
    strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the
    privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other
    impact, by splicing into an inode in order to create an executable file in a setgid directory, a different
    vulnerability than CVE-2008-4210.
    CVE-2008-4210
    fs/open.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a
    write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain
    sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by creating an executable file in a
    setgid directory through the (1) truncate or (2) ftruncate function in conjunction with memory-mapped I/O.
    CVE-2008-4302
    fs/splice.c in the splice subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2 does not properly handle a failure
    of the add_to_page_cache_lru function, and subsequently attempts to unlock a page that was not locked,
    which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel BUG and system crash), as demonstrated by
    the fio I/O tool.
    Bug fixed:
     - process's coredump did not include POSIX shared memory in AXS3
     - added MTD map driver for ATCA-7221 (blade-type single board computer by Motorola for telecom
    equipment).
