The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2013-07471 advisory.

  - The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver     (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen for the Linux kernel 2.6.18 and 3.8 allows guest     OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large number of kernel log messages.
    NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. (CVE-2013-0231)

  - The Xen netback functionality in the Linux kernel before 3.7.8 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of     service (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption. (CVE-2013-0216)

  - net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not initialize certain structures, which allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
    (CVE-2012-6537)

  - The llc_ui_getname function in net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 has an incorrect return     value in certain circumstances, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via a crafted application that leverages an uninitialized pointer argument. (CVE-2012-6542)

  - The ATM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not initialize certain structures, which allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application.
    (CVE-2012-6546)

  - The __tun_chr_ioctl function in drivers/net/tun.c in the Linux kernel before 3.6 does not initialize a     certain structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     crafted application. (CVE-2012-6547)

  - The xfrm_state_netlink function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.7 does not properly     handle error conditions in dump_one_state function calls, which allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability. (CVE-2013-1826)

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-2013-0747-1.nasl (plugin ID 68808).
