The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2012-01501 advisory.

  - The epoll implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.37.2 and earlier does not properly traverse a tree of     epoll file descriptors, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a     crafted application that makes epoll_create and epoll_ctl system calls. (CVE-2011-1083)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
