Check for the version of the kernel package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2004:028 (kernel). Various signedness issues and integer overflows have been fixed within kNFSd and the XDR decode functions of kernel 2.6. These bugs can be triggered remotely by sending a package with a trusted source IP address and a write request with a size greater then 2^31. The result will be a kernel Oops, it is unknown if this bug is otherwise exploitable yet. Kernel 2.4 nfsd code is different but may suffer from the same vulnerability. Additionally a local denial-of-service condition via /dev/ptmx, which affects kernel 2.6 only has been fixed. Thanks to Jan Engelhardt for reporting this issue to us.
