Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Insight
Insight
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issue: * A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's ptrace implementation handled PTRACE_SETREGS requests when the debuggee was woken due to a SIGKILL signal instead of being stopped. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2013-0871, Important) Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
