Subject: CVE request -- Linux kernel irda driver buffer overflow

Hi,

A buffer overflow has been recently fixed in the Linux kernel irda
driver.

Upstream bug:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12397

Upstream fix:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=2950e952920811be465ec95c6b56f03dc66a05c0

From a quick analysis it was introduced in commit
8ef80aef118e405f2b6505f623830e6e73224f85, so versions >= 2.6.18 are
affected.

Thanks.
