The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1055.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

This update fixes the following security issue:

  • a buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel Partial Reliable Stream
    Control Transmission Protocol (PR-SCTP) implementation. This could,
    potentially, lead to a remote denial of service or arbitrary code execution
    if a Forward-TSN chunk is received with a large stream ID. Note: An
    established connection between SCTP endpoints is necessary to exploit this
    vulnerability. Refer to the Knowledgebase article in the References section
    for further information. (CVE-2009-0065, Important)

This update also fixes the following bug:

  • a problem in the way the i5000_edac module reported errors may have
    caused the console on some systems to be flooded with errors, similar to
    the following:

EDAC i5000 MC0: NON-FATAL ERROR Found!!! 1st NON-FATAL Err Reg= [hex value]
EDAC i5000: NON-Retry Errors, bits= [hex value]

After installing this update, the console will not be flooded with these
errors. (BZ#494734)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported
patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this
update to take effect.
