[maverick, maverick/ti-omap4 CVE 1/1] Fix corrupted OSF partition table parsing

[Andy Whitcroft]

From: Timo Warns <Warns at pre-sense.de>

The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating OSF partitions contains a bug that leaks data
from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF
partitions.

In more detail:

  for (i = 0 ; i < le16_to_cpu(label->d_npartitions); i++, partition++) {

iterates from 0 to d_npartitions - 1, where d_npartitions is read from
the partition table without validation and partition is a pointer to an
array of at most 8 d_partitions.

Add the proper and obvious validation.

[ Changed the patch trivially to not repeat the whole le16_to_cpu()
  thing, and to use an explicit constant for the magic value '8' ]
