From ${URL} :

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2001-0328 to the following 
vulnerability:

TCP implementations that use random increments for initial sequence numbers (ISN) can allow remote 
attackers to perform session hijacking or disruption by injecting a flood of packets with a range 
of ISN values, one of which may match the expected ISN.

These references don't seem to actually point to more information about a specific kernel vulnerability, but rather speak about a generic TCP issue. That said, with the age of this I can't imagine we have vulnerable kernels still in tree.
