The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2013-0241 advisory.

  • The PV domain builder in Xen 4.2 and earlier does not validate the size of the kernel or ramdisk (1) before or (2) after decompression, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (domain 0 memory consumption) via a crafted (a) kernel or (b) ramdisk. (CVE-2012-4544)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
