This fixes some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and gain escalated privileges, and malicious people to cause a DoS and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27666 SA27908 SA28835 SA30044 SA30101 SA30241 A vulnerability is caused due to missing feature length validation within the "dccp_feat_change()" function in net/dccp/feat.c, which can be exploited to cause an overflow and execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. SOLUTION: Apply updated packages. x86 Platform: openSUSE 10.3: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/kernel-bigsmp-2.6.22.18-0.2.i586.rpm
