Subject:    [PATCH nf] netfilter: x_tables: check for size overflow
From:       Florian Westphal <fw () strlen ! de>
Date:       2016-03-10 0:56:23

Ben Hawkes says:
 integer overflow in xt_alloc_table_info, which on 32-bit systems can
 lead to small structure allocation and a copy_from_user based heap
 corruption.
