CVE-2013-2141

This fixes a kernel memory contents leak via the tkill and tgkill syscalls
for compat processes.

This is visible in the siginfo_t->_sifields._rt.si_sigval.sival_ptr field
when handling signals delivered from tkill.

The place of the infoleak:

int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, siginfo_t *from)
{
        ...
        put_user_ex(ptr_to_compat(from->si_ptr), &to->si_ptr);
        ...
}

Matches upstream and looks to do what is claimed.

That this is only for lucid, does that imply we are getting the rest via
stable?

Yes, the fixes for both CVEs are already queued (or released) in the
stable trees.  Since these patches are already too late for this SRU
cycle, I guess we can just wait for the stable updates to bring the
fixes into the other series.

I am sure that works.
