3.13.11.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto at amacapital.net>

commit a3c54931199565930d6d84f4c3456f6440aefd41 upstream.

Fixes an easy DoS and possible information disclosure.

This does nothing about the broken state of x32 auditing.

eparis: If the admin has enabled auditd and has specifically loaded
audit rules.  This bug has been around since before git.  Wow...
