Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2012-34 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2012-34 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The Linux kernel before 3.2.2 does not properly restrict SG_IO ioctl calls, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on disk read and write operations by sending a SCSI command to (1) a partition block device or (2) an LVM volume. Affected Software/OS: 'kernel' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
