"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-71:06 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.
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2009-1072
    nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user
    request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that
    has been exported with the root_squash option.
    CVE-2009-1192
    The (1) agp_generic_alloc_page and (2) agp_generic_alloc_pages functions in drivers/char/agp/generic.c in
    the agp subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc3 do not zero out pages that may later be available
    to a user-space process, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these pages.
    CVE-2009-1630
    The nfs_permission function in fs/nfs/dir.c in the NFS client implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.29.3
    and earlier, when atomic_open is available, does not check execute (aka EXEC or MAY_EXEC) permission bits,
    which allows local users to bypass permissions and execute files, as demonstrated by files on an NFSv4
    fileserver.
    CVE-2009-1758
    The hypervisor_callback function in Xen, possibly before 3.4.0, as applied to the Linux kernel 2.6.30-rc4,
    2.6.18, and probably other versions allows guest user applications to cause a denial of service (kernel
    oops) of the guest OS by triggering a segmentation fault in certain address ranges.
    Other bugs:
    bnx2 network driver: fixed the behavior of ethtool when ONBOOT=no
