Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-02 23:35:39 UTC 
CVE-2008-2826 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-2826):
  Integer overflow in the sctp_getsockopt_local_addrs_old function in
  net/sctp/socket.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp)
  functionality in the Linux kernel before 2.6.25.9 allows local users to cause
  a denial of service (resource consumption and system outage) via vectors
  involving a large addr_num field in an sctp_getaddrs_old data structure.

hardened-kernel unaffected at present time. Removing alias.

PS: Anything using >=genpatches-2.6.25-7 is unaffected
