The remote host is missing an update to kernel-image-2.4.18-1-alpha, kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386, kernel-source-2.4.18 announced via advisory DSA 403-1. Recently multiple servers of the Debian project were compromised using a Debian developer's account and an unknown root exploit. Forensics revealed a burneye encrypted exploit. The exploit used an integer overflow in the brk system call to gain access to the full kernel address space. This bug has been fixed in kernel versions 2.4.23 and 2.6.0-test6. For Debian, it has been fixed in version 2.4.18-12 of the kernel source packages, version 2.4.18-14 of the i386 kernel images, and version 2.4.18-11 of the alpha kernel images

decrypt the binary which revealed a kernel exploit. Study of the exploit
by the RedHat and SuSE kernel and security teams quickly revealed that
the exploit used an integer overflow in the brk system call. Using
this bug it is possible for a userland program to trick the kernel into
giving access to the full kernel address space. This problem was found
in September by Andrew Morton, but unfortunately that was too late for
the 2.4.22 kernel release.

This bug has been fixed in kernel version 2.4.23 for the 2.4 tree and
2.6.0-test6 kernel tree. For Debian it has been fixed in version
2.4.18-12 of the kernel source packages, version 2.4.18-14 of the i386
