Subject: [PATCH] irda: prevent integer underflow in IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES, CVE-2010-4529
CVE-2010-4529
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737823
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.
