Also applied to my sg v4 driver code. The v1 and v2 interfaces (based on
struct sg_header) did not provide a command length field. The sg driver
needed to read the first byte of the command (the "opcode") to determine
the full command's length prior to actually reading it in full.

Hard to think of an example of an exploit based on this double read.
