Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Configuration (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3380)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The Distributed Lock Manager (DLM) in the cluster manager for Linux kernel 2.6.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of lock services) by connecting to the DLM port, which probably prevents other processes from accessing the service.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
