"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-433:12 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 bug fixed with this release:
    CVE-2009-2695
    The Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc7 does not properly prevent mmap operations that target page zero and
    other low memory addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges by exploiting NULL pointer
    dereference vulnerabilities, related to (1) the default configuration of the allow_unconfined_mmap_low
    boolean in SELinux on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, (2) an error that causes
    allow_unconfined_mmap_low to be ignored in the unconfined_t domain, (3) lack of a requirement for the
    CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability for these mmap operations, and (4) interaction between the mmap_min_addr
    protection mechanism and certain application programs.
    CVE-2009-2908
    The d_delete function in fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in eCryptfs in the Linux kernel 2.6.31 allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that
    cause a negative dentry and trigger a NULL pointer dereference, as demonstrated via a Mutt temporary
    directory in an eCryptfs mount.
    CVE-2009-3228
    The tc_fill_tclass function in net/sched/sch_api.c in the tc subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.4.x before
    2.4.37.6 and 2.6.x before 2.6.31-rc9 does not initialize certain (1) tcm__pad1 and (2) tcm__pad2 structure
    members, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via unspecified
    vectors.
    CVE-2009-3286
    NFSv4 in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, does not properly clean up an inode when an
    O_EXCL create fails, which causes files to be created with insecure settings such as setuid bits, and
    possibly allows local users to gain privileges, related to the execution of the do_open_permission
    function even when a create fails.
    CVE-2009-3547
    Multiple race conditions in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc6 allow local users to cause a
    denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or gain privileges by attempting to open an
    anonymous pipe via a /proc/*/fd/ pathname.
    CVE-2009-3613
    The swiotlb functionality in the r8169 driver in drivers/net/r8169.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.22
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (IOMMU space exhaustion and system crash) by using
    jumbo frames for a large amount of network traffic, as demonstrated by a flood ping.
    Other fixed bugs:
    - removed a warning message that would appear at boot time when  HPET is enabled in the  BIOS
