Subject: [PATCH 3.18 15/93] staging: ncpfs: memory corruption in ncp_read_kernel()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 4c41aa24baa4ed338241d05494f2c595c885af8f upstream.

If the server is malicious then *bytes_read could be larger than the
size of the "target" buffer.  It would lead to memory corruption when we
do the memcpy().
