    Subject[087/165] Fix for buffer overflow in ldm_frag_add not sufficient
    2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    commit cae13fe4cc3f24820ffb990c09110626837e85d4 upstream.

    As Ben Hutchings discovered [1], the patch for CVE-2011-1017 (buffer
    overflow in ldm_frag_add) is not sufficient. The original patch in
    commit c340b1d64000 ("fs/partitions/ldm.c: fix oops caused by corrupted
    partition table") does not consider that, for subsequent fragments,
    previously allocated memory is used.
