The remote host is missing an update to kernel
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:246.
Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
2.6 kernel:
The chip_command function in drivers/media/video/tvaudio.c in the
Linux kernel 2.6.25.x before 2.6.25.19, 2.6.26.x before 2.6.26.7,
and 2.6.27.x before 2.6.27.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of
service (NULL function pointer dereference and OOPS) via unknown
vectors. (CVE-2008-5033)
Stack-based buffer overflow in the hfs_cat_find_brec function
in fs/hfs/catalog.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc1 allows
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or system
crash) via an hfs filesystem image with an invalid catalog namelength
field, a related issue to CVE-2008-4933. (CVE-2008-5025)
Additionally, added enhancements for a newer revision of Nokia models
6300, XpressMusic 5200, 5610 and 7610, the support for the ub USB

r8169 module, added fixes for suspend and resume on the i915 module,
added ALSA fixes for Intel HDA, added workaround for a bug on iwlagn,
added the m5602 driver, fixed a crash on the ppscsi module, added
