Description Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The ipt_recent kernel module (ipt_recent.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.12 and earlier
does not properly perform certain time tests when the jiffies value is greater
than LONG_MAX, which can cause ipt_recent netfilter rules to block too early, a
different vulnerability than CAN-2005-2872.

This is fixed in 2.6.12, description is wrong.

Closing, seems a non-issue (everything's at 2.6.12 or better).
