[Security-Discuss] kernel-2.6.12.20.uc4mdk (SCTP conntrack fix).

 Hi,

 It seems that some people are triggering the CVE-2006-1527 (SCTP conntrack)
bug. As we'll need a few days to release an official kernel update, I'm
releasing the -20mdk final (which has the SCTP conntrack fix) as
2.6.12-20.uc4mdk.

 If you are running a Mandriva 2006.0 kernel in a server machine running
netfilter, I strongly recommend you to install this kernel. But keep in-mind
that it's not fully tested yet.

 For i386 it's already available at:

http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/~lcapitulino/mdv_kernels/uc/2.6.12.20.uc4mdk/

 and will be available for x86_64 in the next hours at:

http://tmb.kkc.fi/Kernels/2006.0/x86_64/uc/2.6.12.20.uc4mdk/

NOTE: You will need a newer mkinitrd and bootsplash version to install
this kernel on Mandriva 2006.0 installtions, you can get them at:

http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/~lcapitulino/mdv_kernels/uc/extra/

 or from cooker's repositories.

 I think you'll also need dmraid from cooker for x86_64 installations.

 Check the packages's changelog to get details about what have been
changed.

 Thanks,
