Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200907-08.

Vulnerability Insight:
An integer overflow in multiple Ralink wireless drivers might lead to the
execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Solution:
All external kernel modules have been masked and we recommend that
users unmerge those drivers. The Linux mainline kernel has equivalent
support for these devices and the vulnerability has been resolved in
stable versions of sys-kernel/gentoo-sources.
