4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>
commit 3e21f4af170bebf47c187c1ff8bf155583c9f3b1 upstream.
The lp_setup() code doesn't apply any bounds checking when passing
"lp=none", and only in this case, resulting in an overflow of the
parport_nr[] array. All versions in Git history are affected.
