3.5.7.15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Kees Cook <keesc...@chromium.org>
commit e0e29b683d6784ef59bbc914eac85a04b650e63c upstream.
The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered,
and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates
ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err()
parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware,
this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation.
CVE-2013-2852
