The remote Oracle Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-3055 advisory.
- KVM: x86: SYSENTER emulation is broken (Nadav Amit) [Orabug: 21502741] {CVE-2015-0239} {CVE-2015-0239}
- x86/tls: Validate TLS entries to protect espfix (Andy Lutomirski) [Orabug: 20223778] {CVE-2014-8133}
- fs: take i_mutex during prepare_binprm for set[ug]id executables (Jann Horn) [Orabug: 21502256] {CVE-2015-3339}
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- arch/x86/kernel/tls.c in the Thread Local Storage (TLS) implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1
allows local users to bypass the espfix protection mechanism, and consequently makes it easier for local
users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism, via a crafted application that makes a set_thread_area
system call and later reads a 16-bit value. (CVE-2014-8133)
- Off-by-one error in the ecryptfs_decode_from_filename function in fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c in the eCryptfs
subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer
overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted filename. (CVE-2014-9683)
- The em_sysenter function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5, when the guest OS
lacks SYSENTER MSR initialization, allows guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges or cause a denial of
service (guest OS crash) by triggering use of a 16-bit code segment for emulation of a SYSENTER
instruction. (CVE-2015-0239)
- Race condition in the prepare_binprm function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19.6 allows local
users to gain privileges by executing a setuid program at a time instant when a chown to root is in
progress, and the ownership is changed but the setuid bit is not yet stripped. (CVE-2015-3339)
