The remote host is missing updates to the kernel announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:0009.

These updated packages address the following security issues:

  • Tavis Ormandy discovered a deficiency in the Linux kernel 32-bit and
    64-bit emulation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to prepare
    and run a specially-crafted binary which would use this deficiency to leak
    uninitialized and potentially sensitive data. (CVE-2008-0598, Important)

  • Olaf Kirch reported a flaw in the i915 kernel driver that only affects
    the Intel G33 series and newer. This flaw could, potentially, lead to local
    privilege escalation. (CVE-2008-3831, Important)

  • Miklos Szeredi reported a missing check for files opened with O_APPEND in
    sys_splice(). This could allow a local, unprivileged user to bypass the
    append-only file restrictions. (CVE-2008-4554, Important)

  • a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel Stream Control Transmission
    Protocol (SCTP) implementation. This could lead to a possible denial of
    service if one end of a SCTP connection did not support the AUTH extension.
    (CVE-2008-4576, Important)

  • Wei Yongjun reported a flaw in the Linux kernel SCTP implementation. In
    certain code paths, sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() could be called with a
    wrong parameter data type. This could lead to a possible denial of service.
    (CVE-2008-4618, Important)

  • when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy() function in
    the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to itself. This could,
    potentially, lead to a denial of service issue. (CVE-2008-5029, Important)

  • the ext2 and ext3 filesystem code failed to properly handle corrupted
    data structures, leading to a possible local denial of service issue when
    read or write operations were performed. (CVE-2008-3528, Low)

All Red Hat Enterprise MRG users should install this update which addresses
these vulnerabilities and fixes these bugs.
