Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.58558
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0774
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2007:0774.

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described
below:

* a flaw in the ISDN CAPI subsystem that allowed a remote user to cause a
denial of service or potential remote access. Exploitation would require
the attacker to be able to send arbitrary frames over the ISDN network to
the victim's machine. (CVE-2007-1217, Moderate)

* a flaw in the perfmon subsystem on ia64 platforms that allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-0558, Moderate)

In addition, the following bugs were addressed:

* a panic after reloading of the LSI Fusion driver.

* a vm performance problem was corrected by balancing inactive page lists.

* added a nodirplus option to address NFSv3 performance issues with large
directories.

* changed the personality handling to disallow personality changes of
setuid and setgid binaries. This ensures they keep any randomization and
Exec-shield protection.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
to the packages associated with their machine architectures and
configurations as listed in this erratum.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
