It is "part of kernel.org", it's called 2.4.32. The kernel developers
can hardly be expected to release a patch for every vulnerability
against every possible kernel version ever released..

If you need guaranteed security patches against a specific version of
the kernel you should likely be using a distribution kernel and not a
vanilla kernel.
