Subject: [071/143] Fix corrupted OSF partition table parsing
2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Timo Warns <Warns@...-sense.de>
commit 1eafbfeb7bdf59cfe173304c76188f3fd5f1fd05 upstream.
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating OSF partitions contains a bug that leaks data
from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF
partitions.
In more detail:
for (i = 0 ; i < le16_to_cpu(label->d_npartitions); i++, partition++) {
iterates from 0 to d_npartitions - 1, where d_npartitions is read from
the partition table without validation and partition is a pointer to an
array of at most 8 d_partitions.
Add the proper and obvious validation.

[ Changed the patch trivially to not repeat the whole le16_to_cpu()
thing, and to use an explicit constant for the magic value '8' ]
