 https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-625-1
Description:
 Integer overflow in the dccp_feat_change function in net/dccp/feat.c in the
 Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel
 2.6.18, and 2.6.17 through 2.6.20, allows local users to gain privileges
 via an invalid feature length, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.
Ubuntu-Description:
 Brandon Edwards discovered that the DCCP system in the kernel did not
 correctly check feature lengths.  A remote attacker could exploit this
 to execute arbitrary code.
