The remote host is missing an update to kernel
announced via advisory FEDORA-2005-313.
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any
Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.
This update rebases the kernel to the latest upstream stable release,

- CVE-2005-0750 : Missing range checking in bluetooth
