"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-42:04 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2008-3528
    The error-reporting functionality in (1) fs/ext2/dir.c, (2) fs/ext3/dir.c, and possibly (3) fs/ext4/dir.c
    in the Linux kernel 2.6.26.5 does not limit the number of printk console messages that report directory
    corruption, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary system
    hang) by mounting a filesystem that has corrupted dir->i_size and dir->i_blocks values and performing (a)
    read or (b) write operations.
    NOTES:
    there are limited scenarios in which this crosses privilege boundaries.
    The ext4 fix is omitted because there is no ext4 in AXS3 SP1 kernel.
    CVE-2008-5700
    libata in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.9 does not set minimum timeouts for SG_IO requests, which allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (Programmed I/O mode on drives) via multiple simultaneous
    invocations of an unspecified test program.
    CVE-2009-0028
    The clone system call in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier allows local users to send arbitrary signals
    to a parent process from an unprivileged child process by launching an additional child process with the
    CLONE_PARENT flag, and then letting this new process exit.
    CVE-2009-0322
    drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.13, and 2.6.28.x before 2.6.28.2, allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a read system call that specifies zero bytes
    from the (1) image_type or (2) packet_size file in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/.
    CVE-2009-0675
    The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 permits
    SKFP_CLR_STATS requests only when the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability is absent, instead of when this capability
    is present, which allows local users to reset the driver statistics, related to an inverted logic issue.
    CVE-2009-0676
    The sock_getsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 does not initialize a
    certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel
    memory via an SO_BSDCOMPAT getsockopt request.
    Panic problem:
    This release also fixes a panic problem introduced with the release of the previous kernel
    (kernel-2.6.18-53.21AXS3) on Toshiba server (seen on Pentium DC E2160/1.80GHz  CPU) and Nehalem CPU.
