"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-487:02 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-2013-7339
         The rds_ib_laddr_check function in net/rds/ib.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 allows local users
    to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a bind system call for an RDS socket on a system that lacks RDS transports.
    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.
    Fixed bugs:
    * Previously, the kernel was unable to detect KVM on system boot if the Hyper-V emulation was enabled. and
    fixed it.
    * Previously,  when accessing files in NFS mounts, a process with the same UID and GID as the original
    process but with a non-matching group list could have been granted an unauthorized access to a file, or
    under certain circumstances, the process could have been wrongly prevented from accessing the file. and
    fixed it.
    * Previously, the FUTEX_WAIT operation did not work as intended and the system call was timing out
    immediately. whit this update, fixed it.
    * Due to a programming error, the kernel could print this warning message when a process was setting
    rlimits for a different process, or if rlimits were modified by  nother than the main thread even though
    there was no incompatible third party module. With this update, fixed it.
    *  Due to a bug in the lpfc driver, some Fibre Channel storage devices can send a logout (LOGO) message to
    the host system, when being under heavy load. with this update, corrects the lpfc driver.

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.");
