This host is running Linux and prone to remote denial of service vulnerability.

Successful exploitation may allow remote attackers to cause a kernel crash, denying service to legitimate users. Impact Level: System

Upgrade to Linux Kernel version 3.0.17, 3.1.9 or 3.2.1 For updates refer to http://www.kernel.org

The flaw is due to an error in IGMP protocol implementation, which can be exploited to cause a kernel crash via specially crafted IGMP queries.

Linux Kernels above or equal to 2.6.36
