Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-2024 advisory.- net/ipv4/ip_gre.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34, when ip_gre is configured as a module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by sending a packet during module loading. (CVE-2011-1767)
- The tunnels implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34, when tunnel functionality is configured as a module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by sending a packet during module loading. (CVE-2011-1768)
- The inet_diag_bc_audit function in net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.3 does not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message, as demonstrated by an INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instruction with a zero yes value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3880.
(CVE-2011-2213)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
