Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2016-3559)

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2016-3559 advisory. - Integer overflow in lib/asn1_decoder.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted ASN.1 data. (CVE-2016-0758) - The Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket before closing it, related to net/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c. (CVE-2013-4312) Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
