The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1465.

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. KVM is a Linux kernel module built for
the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel.

The kvm_emulate_hypercall() implementation was missing a check for the
Current Privilege Level (CPL). A local, unprivileged user in a virtual
machine could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate
their privileges within that virtual machine. (CVE-2009-3290)

All KVM users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues. Note: The procedure in the
