Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-29 14:28:10 UTC 
CVE-2008-3526 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3526):
  Integer overflow in the sctp_setsockopt_auth_key function in
  net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp)
  implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc1 through 2.6.26.3 allows remote
  attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly have unspecified
  other impact via a crafted sca_keylength field associated with the
  SCTP_AUTH_KEY option.

hardened-kernel unaffected at present time. Removing alias.

PS: Anything using >=genpatches-2.6.26-3 is unaffected
