http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.5 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.6

CVE-2007-1357: The atalk_sum_skb function in AppleTalk for Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.21, and possibly 2.4.x, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an AppleTalk frame that is shorter than the specified length, which triggers a BUG_ON call when an attempt is made to perform a checksum.

CVSS Severity: 3.3 (Low)

Plus additional fixes: ATI SB600 SATA workaround Routing return codes Libata LBA48 handling Update libata NCQ blacklist Libata request sense SCSI error handler

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
