I am talking about the part which you described yourself as regression. But I
agree that the overflow bug is in there since the beginning of the gateway
code.

There is a stable branch for Linux 2.6.32.x. Linux 2.6.32 came out 2009. So it
is possible that David Miller decides to submit the overflow patch to stable
for 2.6.32. This is not in our jurisdiction. The same may be the case for the
regression - but then somebody (David Miller/stable team) must know how severe
the problem is and when it was introduced.
