This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
termios, tty/tty_baudrate.c: fix buffer overrun
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: termios, tty/tty_baudrate.c: fix buffer overrun
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.
