Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update to kernel-patch-2.4.18-powerpc, kernel-image-2.4.18-1-alpha announced via advisory DSA 417-1. This VT has been deprecated and merged into the VT 'Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-417)' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53118). Vulnerability Insight: Paul Starzetz discovered a flaw in bounds checking in mremap() in the Linux kernel (present in version 2.4.x and 2.6.x) which may allow a local attacker to gain root privileges. Version 2.2 is not affected by this bug. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.18-1woody3 for the powerpc architecture. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon with newly uploaded packages. Solution: We recommend that you upgrade your kernel packages. This problem has CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
