Description:
    Two remote denial of service vulnerabilities have been discovered
    in the Linux kernel SCTP implementation, and a remote denial of
    service vulnerability has been discovered in the ip_nat_snmp_basic
    module.  Neither SCTP nor ip_nat_snmp_basic is configured in a
    default installation of rPath Linux; a system must be explicitly
    configured to use the SCTP protocol or the ip_nat_snmp_basic
    netfilter module to be subject to any of these vulnerabilities.
