The remote host is missing an update to linux-2.6
announced via advisory DSA 2110-1.
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leak.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
CVE-2010-2492
Andre Osterhues reported an issue in the eCryptfs subsystem. A buffer
overflow condition may allow local users to cause a denial of service
or gain elevated privileges.
CVE-2010-2954
Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the irda subsystem which may allow
local users to cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2010-3078
Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the XFS file system that allows
local users to read potentially sensitive kernel memory.
CVE-2010-3080
Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the ALSA sequencer OSS emulation
layer. Local users with sufficient privileges to open /dev/sequencer
(by default on Debian, this is members of the 'audio' group) can
cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2010-3081
Ben Hawkes discovered an issue in the 32-bit compatibility code
for 64-bit systems. Local users can gain elevated privileges due
to insufficient checks in compat_alloc_user_space allocations.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.26-25lenny1.
We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux
