The remote host is missing updates to the kernel announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1024.

Security Fixes:

  • the exit_notify() function in the Linux kernel did not properly reset the
    exit signal if a process executed a set user ID (setuid) application before
    exiting. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to elevate their
    privileges. (CVE-2009-1337, Important)

  • the Linux kernel implementation of the Network File System (NFS) did not
    properly initialize the file name limit in the nfs_server data structure.
    This flaw could possibly lead to a denial of service on a client mounting
    an NFS share. (CVE-2009-1336, Moderate)

For information on additional bug fixes made in this package,
please visit the referenced security advisories.

Users should install this update, which resolves these issues and adds
these enhancements.
