"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-411:13 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 bugs fixed with this release:
    CVE-2009-2849
    The md driver (drivers/md/md.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30.2 might allow local users to cause a
    denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors related to suspend_* sysfs attributes and the (1)
    suspend_lo_store or (2) suspend_hi_store functions. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when sysfs is
    writable by an attacker.
    Other fixed bugs:
    Update the afxxxc driver (Toshiba) to fix some issues and improve performance.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
