+  <title>Linux Kernel: Remote DoS vulnerability with IPTables TCP Handling</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    A flaw has been discovered in 2.6 series Linux kernels that allows an
+    attacker to send a malformed TCP packet, causing the affected kernel to
+    possibly enter an infinite loop and hang the vulnerable machine.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    The Linux kernel is responsible for managing the core aspects of a
+    GNU/Linux system, providing an interface for core system applications as
+    well as providing the essential structure and capability to access hardware
+    that is needed for a running system.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    An attacker can utilize an erroneous data type in the IPTables TCP option
+    handling code, which lies in an iterator. By making a TCP packet with a
+    header length larger than 127 bytes, a negative integer would be implied in
+    the iterator.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    By sending one malformed packet, the kernel could get stuck in a loop,
+    consuming all of the CPU resources and rendering the machine useless,
+    causing a Denial of Service. This vulnerability requires no local access.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    If users do not use the netfilter functionality or do not use any
+    ``--tcp-option'' rules they are not vulnerable to this exploit. Users that
+    are may remove netfilter support from their kernel or may remove any
+    ``--tcp-option'' rules they might be using. However, all users are urged to
+    upgrade their kernels to patched versions.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available sources for their
+    system:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    # emerge -pv your-favorite-sources
+    # emerge your-favorite-sources
+
+    # # Follow usual procedure for compiling and installing a kernel.
+    # # If you use genkernel, run genkernel as you would do normally.</code>
