2.6.16-r12 is protected from this bug. From the ChangeLog:

*gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r12 (06 Jul 2006)

   06 Jul 2006; Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
   +gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r12.ebuild:
   Update to Linux 2.6.16.24 for coredump privilege escalation security fix

However, there is a new security bug in the wild, with similar 
implications. Keep an eye open for new kernel releases over the next few 
hours.
