Description

In previous kernel versions, systems that use the SCTP protocol

are vulnerable to remote denial of service attacks including

remotely-triggered kernel crashes, and all systems are vulnerable

to local denial of service including locally-triggered kernel

crashes.

This update requires a reboot to implement the fixes.
