This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ACPICA: Fix possible buffer overflow during a field unit read to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From fb55247fbb398cbffffdb6b4bd8c16c8575345ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Date: Wed, 8 May 2013 04:01:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Fix possible buffer overflow during a field unit read operation commit 61388f9e5d93053cf399a356414f31f9b4814c6d upstream. Can only happen under these conditions: 1) The DSDT version is 1, meaning integers are 32-bits. 2) The field is between 33 and 64 bits long. It applies cleanly back to ACPICA 20100806+ (Linux v2.6.37+). Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
