Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882614
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for kernel CESA-2016:2962 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.

Security Fix(es):

* A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the kernels socket recvmmsg
subsystem. This may allows remote attackers to corrupt memory and may allow
execution of arbitrary code. This corruption takes place during the error
handling routines within __sys_recvmmsg() function. (CVE-2016-7117,
Important)

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, guest virtual machines (VMs) on a Hyper-V server cluster got
in some cases rebooted during the graceful node failover test, because the
host kept sending heartbeat packets independently of guests responding to
them. This update fixes the bug by properly responding to all the heartbeat
messages in the queue, even if they are pending. As a result, guest VMs no
longer get rebooted under the described circumstances. (BZ#1391167)

Affected Software/OS:
kernel on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
