This is an important fix. The bug is triggered whenever a SCSI command is sent that does not conform to the old "top 3 bits of the first byte dictate cdb length" convention. This mainly happens with vendor specific commands and with variable length commands (those starting with opcode 0x7f). The latter is not a problem today because linux doesn't support variable length commands (or, to be more precise, those commands with more than 16 bytes in them).
