If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 502585c7555083d4a949c08350306b9ec196779e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2017 15:10:54 +0100 Subject: h8300/ptrace: Fix incorrect register transfer count From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> commit 502585c7555083d4a949c08350306b9ec196779e upstream. regs_set() and regs_get() are vulnerable to an off-by-1 buffer overrun if CONFIG_CPU_H8S is set, since this adds an extra entry to register_offset[] but not to user_regs_struct. So, iterate over user_regs_struct based on its actual size, not based on the length of register_offset[].
