Technical Details:
Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux
kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary
code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:
CVE-2007-2172
Thomas Graf reported a typo in the IPV4 protocol handler that could
be used by a local attacker to overrun an array via crafted packets,
potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (system crash).
The DECnet counterpart of this issue was already fixed in DSA-1356.
CVE-2007-2875
iDefense reported a potential integer underflow in the cpuset filesystem
which may permit local attackers to gain access to sensitive kernel
memory. This vulnerability is only exploitable if the cpuset filesystem
is mounted.
CVE-2007-3105
The PaX Team discovered a potential buffer overflow in the random number
generator which may permit local users to cause a denial of service or
gain additional privileges. This issue is not believed to effect default
Debian installations where only root has sufficient privileges to exploit
it.
CVE-2007-3843
A coding error in the CIFS subsystem permits the use of unsigned messages
even if the client has been configured the system to enforce
signing by passing the sec=ntlmv2i mount option. This may allow remote
attackers to spoof CIFS network traffic.
CVE-2007-4308
Alan Cox reported an issue in the aacraid driver that allows unprivileged
local users to make ioctl calls which should be restricted to admin
privileges.
These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version
2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch2.
The following matrix lists additional Linux Distribution Packages that were rebuilt for
compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:
Debian 4.0 (etch)
fai-kernels 1.17+etch5
user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch4
We recommend that you upgrade your kernel Linux Distribution Package immediately and reboot
Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to linux-2.6
announced via advisory DSA 1363-1.

Free Vulnerability Scanning, Assessment and Management
Mageni's Platform is packed with all the features you need to scan, assess and manage vulnerabilities like this - it is free, open source, lightning fast, reliable and scalable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you limit the number of concurrent scans?
No, you can scan concurrently as many assets as you want. Please note that you must be aware of the hardware requeriments of the platform to ensure a good performance.
Do you limit the number of assets?
No, you can add as many assest as you want. It doesn't matters if you have millions of assets, we won't charge you for that.
Will I ever be charged to use the software?
No. The software is completely free. We have no intention to charge you to use the software, in fact - it completely goes against our beliefs and business model.
What's a vulnerability?
A vulnerability is defined in the ISO 27002 standard as “A weakness of an asset or group of assets that can be exploited by one or more threats” (International Organization for Standardization, 2005)
How can you offer this for free?
We generate revenue by providing support and other services for customers that require a subscription so they get guaranteed support and enterprise services. To use Mageni's Platform is completely free, with no limits at all.

Do you store my vulnerability information on your servers?
No, we don't store the information of your vulnerabilities in our servers.
What's vulnerability management?
Vulnerability management is the process in which vulnerabilities in IT are identified and the risks of these vulnerabilities are evaluated. This evaluation leads to correcting the vulnerabilities and removing the risk or a formal risk acceptance by the management of an organization. The term vulnerability management is often confused with vulnerability scanning. Despite the fact both are related, there is an important difference between the two. Vulnerability scanning consists of using a computer program to identify vulnerabilities in networks, computer infrastructure or applications. Vulnerability management is the process surrounding vulnerability scanning, also taking into account other aspects such as risk acceptance, remediation etc. Source: "Implementing a Vulnerability Management Process".
