SubjectRe: 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.

Please pull from

or
