Subject: [PATCH 11/91] ARM: 6891/1: prevent heap corruption in OABI semtimedop

2.6.27-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

commit 0f22072ab50cac7983f9660d33974b45184da4f9 upstream.

When CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is set, the wrapper for semtimedop does not
bound the nsops argument.  A sufficiently large value will cause an
integer overflow in allocation size, followed by copying too much data
into the allocated buffer.  Fix this by restricting nsops to SEMOPM.
Untested.
