Subject: [009/289] irda: Fix heap memory corruption in iriap.c

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Samuel Ortiz <samuel@...tiz.org>

commit 37f9fc452d138dfc4da2ee1ce5ae85094efc3606 upstream.

While parsing the GetValuebyClass command frame, we could potentially write
passed the skb->data pointer.
