Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52891
Category:Turbolinux Local Security Tests
Title:Turbolinux TLSA-2004-18 (kernel)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kernel
announced via advisory TLSA-2004-18.

The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your Linux operating system.
Linux kernel 2.4.2x and 2.6.x for x86 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash),
possibly via an infinite loop that triggers a signal handler with a certain sequence of fsave
and frstor instructions, as originally demonstrated using a crash.c program.

The vulnerability allows an attacker to make the cause of the denial of service of the kernel.

Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update.
