"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2013-124:02 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-2012-1568
    The ExecShield feature in a certain Red Hat patch for the Linux kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
    5 and 6 and Fedora 15 and 16 does not properly handle use of many shared libraries by a 32-bit executable
    file, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by
    leveraging a predictable base address for one of these libraries.
     CVE-2012-4444
    The ip6_frag_queue function in net/ipv6/reassembly.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 allows remote
    attackers to bypass intended network restrictions via overlapping IPv6 fragments.
     CVE-2012-5515
    The (1) XENMEM_decrease_reservation, (2) XENMEM_populate_physmap, and (3) XENMEM_exchange hypercalls in
    Xen 4.2 and earlier allow local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (long loop and hang) via
    a crafted extent_order value.

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.");
