Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71683
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1452-1 (linux-image-3.0.0-20-generic)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to linux-image-3.0.0-20-generic
announced via advisory USN-1452-1.

Details:

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) virtual
cpu setup. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to crash the
system leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2012-1601)

Steve Grubb reported a flaw with Linux fscaps (file system base
capabilities) when used to increase the permissions of a process. For
application on which fscaps are in use a local attacker can disable address
space randomization to make attacking the process with raised privileges
easier. (CVE-2012-2123)
