ptrace vulnerable :)

echo deb http://therapy.endorphin.org/cryptoapi/ >>/etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install cryptoapi-core-source cryptoloop-source

You can then use make-kpkg modules_image to build the modules for your kernel,
im not sure if you can do it with just headers, you may need full
kernel source.

hope that helps.
