"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-454:03 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-2013-6378
    The lbs_debugfs_write function in drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux kernel through
    3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges for a zero-
    length write operation.
    CVE-2014-0203
    The __do_follow_link function in fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33 does not properly handle the
    last pathname component during use of certain filesystems, which allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (incorrect free operations and system crash) via an open system call.
    CVE-2014-1737
    The raw_cmd_copyin function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly
    handle error conditions during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local users to trigger
    kfree operations and gain privileges by leveraging write access to a /dev/fd device.
    CVE-2014-1738
    The raw_cmd_copyout function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not
    properly restrict access to certain pointers during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows
    local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging write access to a
    /dev/fd device.
    CVE-2014-1874
    The security_context_to_sid_core function in security/selinux/ss/services.c in the Linux kernel before
    3.13.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging the CAP_MAC_ADMIN
    capability to set a zero-length security context.
    CVE-2014-2039
    arch/s390/kernel/head64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 on the s390 platform does not properly handle
    attempted use of the linkage stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash)
    by executing a crafted instruction
    CVE-2014-3153
    The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls
    have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted
    FUTEX_REQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.
    Fixed bugs:
    This update also fixes several bugs.

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
