commit 2e302ebfeac04beb5a5d6af1ac583c6a1fb76d1a upstream.

in routed mode, we don't have a hardware address so netdev_ops doesnt
need to validate our hardware address via .ndo_validate_addr

The below patch is for -stable only, upstream has a much larger patch
that contains the below hunk in commit a8b0ca17b80e92faab46ee7179ba9e99ccb61233

Vince found that under certain circumstances software event overflows
go wrong and deadlock. Avoid trying to delete a timer from the timer
callback.

Convert array index from the loop bound to the loop index.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

for(e1 = 0; e1 &lt; e2; e1++) { &lt;...

commit 1d1221f375c94ef961ba8574ac4f85c8870ddd51 upstream.

/proc/PID/io may be used for gathering private information.  E.g.  for
openssh and vsftpd daemons wchars/rchars may be used to learn the
precise password length.  Restrict it to processes being able to ptrace
the target process.

ptrace_may_access() is needed to prevent keeping open file descriptor of
"io" file, executing setuid binary and gathering io information of the
setuid'ed process.

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.
