Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for kernel CESA-2016:0045 centos5
Summary:Check the version of kernel
Description:Summary:
Check the version of kernel

Vulnerability Insight:
The kernel packages contain the Linux
kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

* Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking
implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote
attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in
the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a
denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll
functionality. (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366, Important)

All kernel users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be
rebooted for this update to take effect.

Affected Software/OS:
kernel on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
