** Description changed:

- A flaw in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation
- could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if the sysctl
- "net.sctp.addip_enable" variable was turned on
+ net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34, when
+ addip_enable and auth_enable are used, does not consider the amount of
+ zero padding during calculation of chunk lengths for (1) INIT and (2)
+ INIT ACK chunks, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
+ service (OOPS) via crafted packet data.
  
  Break-Fix: - a8170c35e738d62e9919ce5b109cf4ed66e95bde
