Description:	The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2007:0169. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. These new kernel packages contain fixes for the following security issues: * a flaw in the IPv6 socket option handling that allowed a local user to read arbitrary kernel memory (CVE-2007-1000, Important). * a flaw in the IPv6 socket option handling that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2007-1388, Important). * a flaw in the utrace support that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2007-0771, Important). In addition to the security issues described above, a fix for a memory leak in the audit subsystem and a fix for a data corruption bug on s390 systems have been included. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 users are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which are not vulnerable to these issues. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network.
