Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-03-08 13:25:33 UTC 
From $URL :

Linux kernel built with XFRM framework support is vulnerable to a NULL pointer
dereference flaw. It occurs while accessing XFRM state via xfrm_state_netlink
routine.

A privileged(CAP_NET_ADMIN) user/program could use this flaw to crash systems,
resulting in DoS.

Comment 1 Christopher Díaz Riveros (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2018-04-04 19:26:21 UTC 
There are no longer any 2.x or <3.5.7 kernels available in the repository with
the exception of sys-kernel/xbox-sources which is unsupported by security.
