This update rebases to the latest upstream -stable release (2.6.16.17), where a number of security problems have been fixed, notably :

SCTP: Validate the parameter length in HB-ACK chunk (CVE-2006-1857) SCTP: Respect the real chunk length when walking parameters (CVE-2006-1858) fs/locks.c: Fix lease_init (CVE-2006-1860) SCTP: Fix state table entries for chunks received in CLOSED state.
(CVE-2006-2271) SCTP: Fix panic’s when receiving fragmented SCTP control chunks. (CVE-2006-2272) SCTP: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled DATA. (CVE-2006-2274) SCTP: Allow spillover of receive buffer to avoid deadlock. (CVE-2006-2275)
