Subject: [PATCH 3.18 24/24] cdrom: information leak in cdrom_ioctl_media_changed()

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

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

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

commit 9de4ee40547fd315d4a0ed1dd15a2fa3559ad707 upstream.

This cast is wrong.  "cdi->capacity" is an int and "arg" is an unsigned
long.  The way the check is written now, if one of the high 32 bits is
set then we could read outside the info->slots[] array.

This bug is pretty old and it predates git.
