Re: [PATCH] fbdev: color map copying bounds checking

Hi again,

It's been two weeks with no response. This fixes a kernel heap OOB
read. Andrew, can you take this into -mm?

Copying color maps to userspace doesn't check the value of to->start,
which will cause kernel heap buffer OOB read due to signedness wraps.

CVE-2016-8405

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
