+Description: 
+ The Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) decapsulation
+ component in dvb-core/dvb_net.c in the dvb driver in the Linux kernel
+ 2.6.17.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
+ via an SNDU length of 0 in a ULE packet.
+Ubuntu-Description:
+ A flaw was discovered in dvb ULE decapsulation.  A remote attacker could
+ send a specially crafted message and cause a denial of service.
+Notes: 
+ mpitt> Questionable -- rather than fixing the kernel to not send out
+	invalid ULE packets, it should be fixed to not crash upon
+	receiving one.
+ dannf> I noticed that a different, and much larger patch went into 2.6.18
+        that conflicts with the one provided by the original reporter (which
+        went into 2.6.17.y). I asked the original reporter if that patch also
+        fixed the issue. Ang Way replied:
+          "Yes, it is fixed in 2.6.18 and later even though the patch is
+           different. Their fix is more elegant."
+        So, marking etch N/A
