Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.840242
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-661-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, procps' package(s) announced via the USN-661-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, procps' package(s) announced via the USN-661-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Version 2.6.27 of the Linux kernel changed the order of options in
TCP headers. While this change was RFC-compliant, it was found that
some old routers and consumer DSL modems would not route traffic for
these systems when TCP timestamps were enabled. As a workaround, TCP
timestamps were disabled via sysctl.

This update restores the previous ordering of TCP options, and
reenables TCP timestamps. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Affected Software/OS:
'linux, procps' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
