The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2004:799.
The Linux kernel is responsible for handling the basic functions of the GNU/Linux operating system.
This announcement fixes two local vulnerabilities in the kernel package:
1) mremap() local vulnerability (CVE-2003-0985[2]) Paul Starzetz from iSEC Security Research reported[1] another vulnerability in the Linux memory management code which can be used by local attackers to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service condition (DoS).
2) Information leak in RTC code (CVE-2003-0984[3]) Russell King reported that real time clock (RTC) routines in Linux kernel 2.4.23 and earlier do not properly initialize their structures, which could leak kernel data to user space.
Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
