The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1635.

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

These updated packages fix the following security issues:

  • a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the NFSv4 implementation in
    the Linux kernel. Several of the NFSv4 file locking functions failed to
    check whether a file had been opened on the server before performing
    locking operations on it. A local user on a system with an NFSv4 share
    mounted could possibly use this flaw to cause a denial of service or
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-3726, Important)

  • permission issues were found in the megaraid_sas driver (for SAS based
    RAID controllers) in the Linux kernel. The dbg_lvl and poll_mode_io
    files on the sysfs file system (/sys/) had world-writable permissions.
    This could allow local, unprivileged users to change the behavior of the
    driver. (CVE-2009-3889, CVE-2009-3939, Moderate)

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