2.6.33-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenb...@vsecurity.com> commit 21c5977a836e399fc710ff2c5367845ed5c2527f upstream. Fix several security issues in Alpha-specific syscalls. Untested, but mostly trivial. 1. Signedness issue in osf_getdomainname allows copying out-of-bounds kernel memory to userland. 2. Signedness issue in osf_sysinfo allows copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland. 3. Typo (?) in osf_getsysinfo bounds minimum instead of maximum copy size, allowing copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland. 4. Usage of user pointer in osf_wait4 while under KERNEL_DS allows privilege escalation via writing return value of sys_wait4 to kernel memory.
