An invalid length could cause overflow when calculating buffer size for decoding oid. - An oid length of zero is invalid and allows for an off-by-one error when decoding oid because the first subid actually encodes first 2 subids. - A primitive encoding may not have an indefinite length. Thanks to Wei Wang from McAfee for report. kerframil@gmail.com 2009-07-20 19:01:24 0000 hardened-kernel unaffected at present time. Removing alias. PS: Anything using >=genpatches-2.6.25-6 is unaffected
