The patch titled
Subject: score: fix off-by-one index into syscall table
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
score-fix-off-by-one-index-into-syscall-table.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: score: fix off-by-one index into syscall table
If the provided system call number is equal to __NR_syscalls, the current
check will pass and a function pointer just after the system call table
may be called, since sys_call_table is an array with total size
__NR_syscalls.
Whether or not this is a security bug depends on what the compiler puts
immediately after the system call table. It's likely that this won't do
anything bad because there is an additional NULL check on the syscall
entry, but if there happens to be a non-NULL value immediately after the
system call table, this may result in local privilege escalation.
