Hello,
We are running CentOS 5.5 on a server that is not reporting any
security updates:
[root@server01 ~]# yum -y --security check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: bay.uchicago.edu
* extras: bay.uchicago.edu
* updates: mirror.nyi.net
Limiting package lists to security relevant ones
No packages needed, for security, 261 available
However, Nexpose, our vulnerability scanner detected otherwise. Upon
digging deeper, I noticed that we are on a kernel version that has a
known issue fixed in a later version:
[root@server01 ~]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.18-194.el5
kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0610.html
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2010-August/016890.html
I appreciate anyone's insight in helping me understand this a bit better.
Thanks!
