Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2003:317. The iproute package contains advanced IP routing and network device configuration tools. Herbert Xu reported that iproute can accept spoofed messages sent on the kernel netlink interface by other users on the local machine. This could lead to a local denial of service attack.

Users of iproute should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a patch that checks that netlink messages actually came from the kernel.
