"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2010-166:02 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 issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2009-4308
    The ext4_decode_error function in fs/ext4/super.c in the ext4 filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32
    allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference), and
    possibly have unspecified other impact, via a crafted read-only filesystem that lacks a journal.
    CVE-2010-0003
    The print_fatal_signal function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32.4 on the i386
    platform, when print-fatal-signals is enabled, allows local users to discover the contents of arbitrary
    memory locations by jumping to an address and then reading a log file, and might allow local users to
    cause a denial of service (system slowdown or crash) by jumping to an address.
    CVE-2010-0007
    net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c in the ebtables module in the netfilter framework in the Linux kernel
    before 2.6.33-rc4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for setting or modifying rules, which
    allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure arbitrary network-traffic
    filtering via a modified ebtables application.
    CVE-2010-0008
    The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (infinite loop) via (1) an Out Of The Blue (OOTB) chunk or (2) a chunk of zero length.
    CVE-2010-0415
    The do_pages_move function in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not validate node
    values, which allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory locations, cause a denial of service
    (OOPS), and possibly have unspecified other impact by specifying a node that is not part of the kernel's
    node set.
    CVE-2010-0437
    The ip6_dst_lookup_tail function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27 does not
    properly handle certain circumstances involving an IPv6 TUN network interface and a large number of
    neighbors, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
    CVE-2009-4536
    drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier handles
    Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU by processing certain trailing payload data as if it were a complete
    frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass packet filters via a large packet with a crafted payload.
    NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2009-1385.
    CVE-2009-4537
    drivers/net/r8169.c in the r8169 driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier does not properly check
    the size of an Ethernet frame that exceeds the MTU, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of
    service (temporary network outage) via a packet with a crafted size, in conjunction with certain packets
    containing A characters and certain packets containing E characters; or (2) cause a denial of service
    (system crash) via a packet with a crafted size, in conjunction with certain packets containing '0'
    characters, related to the value of the status register and erroneous behavior associated with the
    RxMaxSize register. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2009-1389.
