RHBA-2009:0412 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated lksctp-tools packages that resolve several issues are now available.

Description

These packages are intended to supplement the Stream Control Transmission
Protocol (SCTP) reference implementation, which has been a part of the
kernel since kernel version 2.5.36. For more information on LKSCTP see the
section titled "LKSCTP - Linux Kernel SCTP" in the README file included in
the package documentation. These packages contain the base runtime library
and command line tools.

These updated lksctp-tools packages fix a memory leak related to socket
manipulation in the sctp library. Also, explicit package version
requirement was added into devel and doc sub-packages.

All users of lksctp-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve this issue.
