RHEL Kernel Security Hole Issue

Subject: RHEL Kernel Security Hole Issue
Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:50:05 -0700
Nessus is incorrectly identifying a version of Red Hat Linux and
recommending an update to the kernel.  We are running Red Hat Enterprise
Linux AS v. 2.1 for i386, which is a 32 bit version running the most up
to date kernel, 2.4.9-e.72smp.  But the security hole identified by
nessus is requesting a kernel update to kernel-2.4.18-e.31 which is a
64-bit kernel.  The scan is authenticated so nessus is not relying on
the banner to identify the host and when we do an up2date for a kernel
RPM on the host there is no available updates from RH.  Does anybody
have suggestions as to why this is occurring?  Thanks.
