The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1233.

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

These updated packages fix the following security issues:

  • a flaw was found in the SOCKOPS_WRAP macro in the Linux kernel. This
    macro did not initialize the sendpage operation in the proto_ops structure
    correctly. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a local
    denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-2692, Important)

  • a flaw was found in the udp_sendmsg() implementation in the Linux kernel
    when using the MSG_MORE flag on UDP sockets. A local, unprivileged user
    could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their
    privileges. (CVE-2009-2698, Important)

Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the Google
Security Team for responsibly reporting these flaws.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users should upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. The
system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
