The update from Linux kernel 3.0.31 to 3.0.34 also fixes various bugs not listed here.

The following security issues have been fixed :

CVE-2011-2494: kernel/taskstats.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive I/O statistics by sending taskstats commands to a netlink socket, as demonstrated by discovering the length of another users password (a side channel attack).

CVE-2012-2744: net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c in the Linux kernel, when the nf_conntrack_ipv6 module is enabled, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via certain types of fragmented IPv6 packets.

CVE-2012-3510: Use-after-free vulnerability in the xacct_add_tsk function in kernel/tsacct.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a taskstats TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID command.

CVE-2012-3400: Heap-based buffer overflow in the udf_load_logicalvol function in fs/udf/super.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted UDF filesystem.

CVE-2012-2136: The sock_alloc_send_pskb function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate a certain length value, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging access to a TUN/TAP device.

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-550:04 advisory.

    The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any Linux operating system.  The     kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device     input and output, etc.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2012-1583     Double free vulnerability in the xfrm6_tunnel_rcv function in net/ipv6/xfrm6_tunnel.c in the Linux kernel     before 2.6.22, when the xfrm6_tunnel module is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (panic) via crafted IPv6 packets.
    CVE-2012-0217     The x86-64 kernel system-call functionality in Xen 4.1.2 and earlier, as used in Citrix XenServer 6.0.2     and earlier and other products; Oracle Solaris 11 and earlier; illumos before r13724; Joyent SmartOS     before 20120614T184600Z; FreeBSD before 9.0-RELEASE-p3; NetBSD 6.0 Beta and earlier; and Microsoft Windows     Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Gold and SP1, when running on an Intel processor, incorrectly uses     the sysret path in cases where a certain address is not a canonical address, which allows local users to     gain privileges via a crafted application. NOTE: this description clearly does not belong in CVE, because     a single entry cannot be about independent codebases; however, there was some value in preserving the     original mapping of the multi-codebase coordinated-disclosure effort to a single identifier.
    CVE-2012-2136     CVE-2012-2934     No description available at the time of writing, please use the CVE links below.
    Fixed bugs:
    Some machines would hang at start up when nmi_watchdog=1 was added to the boot parameter. This has been     fixed by disabling the i8042 driver.
    Improved the support of Intel Sandy Bridge GPUs.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
