"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-370:08 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2007-5966
    Integer overflow in the hrtimer_start function in kernel/hrtimer.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.10
    allows local users to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (panic) via a large relative
    timeout value. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
    CVE-2009-1385
    Integer underflow in the e1000_clean_rx_irq function in drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver
    in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc8, the e1000e driver in the Linux kernel, and Intel Wired Ethernet
    (aka e1000) before 7.5.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via a crafted frame
    size.
    CVE-2009-1388
    The ptrace_start function in kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.18 does not properly handle
    simultaneous execution of the do_coredump function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
    (deadlock) via vectors involving the ptrace system call and a coredumping thread.
    CVE-2009-1389
    Buffer overflow in the RTL8169 NIC driver (drivers/net/r8169.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30 allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel memory corruption and crash) via a long packet.
    CVE-2009-1895
    The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc3 has a PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID setting that does
    not clear the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT and MMAP_PAGE_ZERO flags when executing a setuid or setgid program, which
    makes it easier for local users to leverage the details of memory usage to (1) conduct NULL pointer
    dereference attacks, (2) bypass the mmap_min_addr protection mechanism, or (3) defeat address space layout
    randomization (ASLR).
    CVE-2009-2406
    Stack-based buffer overflow in the parse_tag_11_packet function in fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c in the eCryptfs
    subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving a crafted eCryptfs file, related to not ensuring
    that the key signature length in a Tag 11 packet is compatible with the key signature buffer size.
    CVE-2009-2407
    Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_tag_3_packet function in fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c in the eCryptfs
    subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving a crafted eCryptfs file, related to a large
    encrypted key size in a Tag 3 packet.
