Re: Crypto Fixes for 2.6.27

Hi Linus:

This push fixes a serious bug that was introduced in 2.6.25. It
causes IPsec users that employ MAC algorithms with a length longer
than 16 bytes to crash. The standard SHA1 algorithm is exactly 16
bytes long, so this only applies to those using longer algorithms
such as SHA256.
