"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-123:02 advisory.

    The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order
    to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one
    place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared
    libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux
    system will not function.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2009-5029
    CVE-2011-4609
    No information available at the time of writing, see the links below.
    Fixed bugs:
     - Fixed the groupings and separators for French, Spanish, and German locales.
     - Fixed a race condition in its own malloc routines.

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

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