Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Linux v3.3.8

Fixes for CVE-2012-2390 and CVE-2012-2372. Disabled 32bit NX emulation which is suspected of being broken and aligns us more with upstream.

Final 3.3.x update before rebasing to the 3.4 kernel series.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
