The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2014-20081 advisory.

  • arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.17.5 does not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an IRET instruction that leads to access to a GS Base address from the wrong space. (CVE-2014-9322)

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