The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :
CVE-2009-0798
The daemon in acpid before 1.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and connectivity loss) by opening a large number of UNIX sockets without closing them, which triggers an infinite loop.
