Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2012-45 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The journal_unmap_buffer function in fs/jbd2/transaction.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3.1 does not properly handle the _Delay and _Unwritten buffer head states, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging the presence of an ext4 filesystem that was mounted with a journal. Affected Software/OS: 'kernel' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
