Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59765
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 7 FEDORA-2007-1130 (kernel)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kernel
announced via advisory FEDORA-2007-1130.

Update Information:

Rebase kernel to 2.6.22.1:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.1

Includes the CFS scheduler from upstream kernel 2.6.23.

Users should update to the latest autofs package with this
kernel or autofs will use excessive amounts of CPU time.

CVE-2007-3642:
The decode_choice function in net/netfilter/bf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c
in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (crash) via an encoded, out-of-range index value
for a choice field, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

Solution: Apply the appropriate updates.

This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program. Use 'yum update
package-name' at the command line. For more information, refer to 'Managing
Software with yum,' available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
