2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@vsecurity.com>
commit fdac1e0697356ac212259f2147aa60c72e334861 upstream.
If the user-provided len is less than the expected offset, the IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES getsockopt will do a copy_to_user() with a very large size value. While this isn't be a security issue on x86 because it will get caught by the access_ok() check, it may leak large amounts of kernel heap on other architectures. In any event, this patch fixes it.
