Subject: termios, tty/tty_baudrate.c: fix buffer overrun
From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 991a25194097006ec1e0d2e0814ff920e59e3465 upstream.
On architectures with CBAUDEX == 0 (Alpha and PowerPC), the code in tty_baudrate.c does
not do any limit checking on the tty_baudrate[] array, and in fact a
buffer overrun is possible on both architectures. Add a limit check to
prevent that situation.
This will be followed by a much bigger cleanup/simplification patch.
