** Description changed:
The Ubuntu Kernel Team would like to propose the following fixes which
would warrant a 0-day Maverick kernel upload. All of the fixes are
security related in nature:

ALSA: seq/oss - Fix double-free at error path of snd_seq_oss_open()
CVE-2010-3080
The error handling in snd_seq_oss_open() has several bad codes that
do dereferecing released pointers and double-free of kmalloc'ed
data. The object dp is release in free_devinfo() that is called via
private_free callback. The rest shouldn't touch this object any
more.
The patch changes delete_port() to call kfree() in any case, and
gets rid of unnecessary calls of destructors in snd_seq_oss_open().

KEYS: Fix bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() if parent has no session
keyring
CVE-2010-2960
Fix a bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() whereby it tries to check
the ownership of the parent process's session keyring whether or
not the parent has a session keyring [CVE-2010-2960].
This results in the following oops:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000a0
IP: [<ffffffff811ae4dd>] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x251/0x443

[<ffffffff811af98c>] sys_keyctl+0xb4/0xb8
[<ffffffff81001eab>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
if the parent process has no session keyring.
If the system is using pam_keyinit then it mostly protected against
this as all processes derived from a login will have inherited the
session keyring created by pam_keyinit during the log in procedure.
To test this, pam_keyinit calls need to be commented out in
/etc/pam.d/.

KEYS: Fix RCU no-lock warning in keyctl_session_to_parent()
CVE-2010-2960
There's an protected access to the parent process's credentials in
the middle of keyctl_session_to_parent(). This results in the
following RCU warning:

wireless extensions: fix kernel heap content leak
CVE-2010-2955
Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented
requirement which requires drivers to always fill
iwp->length when returning a successful status. When
a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap
content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer
than would have been necessary.
Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it
returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately
indicated that the buffer contents was not valid.
However, we can also at least avoid the memory content
leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp
length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the
buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how
big the userspace buffer is.
To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a
corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement
isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone
during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor
all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

irda: Correctly clean up self->ias_obj on irda_bind() failure.
CVE-2010-2954
If irda_open_tsap() fails, the irda_bind() code tries to destroy
the ->ias_obj object by hand, but does so wrongly.
In particular, it fails to a) release the hashbin attached to the
object and b) reset the self->ias_obj pointer to NULL.
Fix both problems by using irias_delete_object() and explicitly
setting self->ias_obj to NULL, just as irda_release() does.
