"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2008-82:04 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    CVE-2007-5498: The Xen hypervisor block backend driver for Linux kernel 2.6.18, when running on a 64-bit
    host with a 32-bit paravirtualized guest, allows local privileged users in the guest OS to cause a denial
    of service (host OS crash) via a request that specifies a large number of blocks.
    CVE-2008-0007: Linux kernel before 2.6.22.17, when using certain drivers that register a fault handler
    that does not perform range checks, allows local users to access kernel memory via an out-of-range offset.
    CVE-2008-1367: gcc 4.3.x does not generate a cld instruction while compiling functions used for string
    manipulation such as memcpy and memmove on x86 and i386, which can prevent the direction flag (DF) from
    being reset in violation of ABI conventions and cause data to be copied in the wrong direction during
    signal handling in the Linux kernel, which might allow context-dependent attackers to trigger memory
    corruption. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for CPU consumption in SBCL.
    CVE-2008-1375: Race condition in the directory notification subsystem (dnotify) in Linux kernel 2.6.x
    before 2.6.24.6, and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.1, allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and
    possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
    CVE-2008-1619: The ssm_i emulation in Xen 5.1 on IA64 architectures allows attackers to cause a denial of
    service (dom0 panic) via certain traffic, as demonstrated using an FTP stress test tool.
    CVE-2008-1669: Linux kernel before 2.6.25.2 does not apply a certain protection mechanism for fcntl
    functionality, which allows local users to (1) execute code in parallel or (2) exploit a race condition to
    obtain re-ordered access to the descriptor table.
    CVE-2007-5093: The disconnect method in the Philips USB Webcam (pwc) driver in Linux kernel 2.6.x before
    2.6.22.6 relies on user space to close the device

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.");
