Package: linux-image-2.6-486
Version: 2.6.39-3~bpo60+1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Kernel does not provide the af_alg module.
The .config file should contain the following values:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER=m
These two options enables the user-spaces interface for hash and symmetric key
cipher algorithms.
Kernel 2.6.38 introduced an API to access the kernel crypto API from userspace.
While there was a port of BSD's cryptodev for linux which basically provides
the same functionality, the cryptodev code never made it into the mainline of
the kernel.

Already fixed. I suggest you don't use the backports kernel packages as
they are outdated and have no security support.
