Oracle Linux 5 : ELSA-2013-0168-1: / kernel (ELSA-2013-01681) (deprecated)

Synopsis
This plugin has been deprecated.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2013-01681 advisory.- The ExecShield feature in a certain Red Hat patch for the Linux kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and 6 and Fedora 15 and 16 does not properly handle use of many shared libraries by a 32-bit executable file, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by leveraging a predictable base address for one of these libraries. (CVE-2012-1568)
- The ip6_frag_queue function in net/ipv6/reassembly.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 allows remote attackers to bypass intended network restrictions via overlapping IPv6 fragments. (CVE-2012-4444)
- The (1) XENMEM_decrease_reservation, (2) XENMEM_populate_physmap, and (3) XENMEM_exchange hypercalls in Xen 4.2 and earlier allow local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (long loop and hang) via a crafted extent_order value. (CVE-2012-5515)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
This plugin has been deprecated as it is a duplicate of oraclelinux_ELSA-2013-0168-1.nasl (plugin ID 68710).
