Hmm. I just realized when I saw Sasha's autoselect patches flying by
that the floppy ioctl fixes didn't get marked for stable, but they
probably should be.
There's four commits:
da99466ac243 floppy: fix out-of-bounds read in copy_buffer
9b04609b7840 floppy: fix invalid pointer dereference in drive_name
5635f897ed83 floppy: fix out-of-bounds read in next_valid_format
f3554aeb9912 floppy: fix div-by-zero in setup_format_params
that look like stable material - even if I sincerely hope that the
floppy driver isn't critical for anybody.
I leave it to the stable people to decide if they care. I don't think
the hardware matters any more, but I could imagine that people still
use it for some virtual images and have a floppy device inside a VM
for that reason.
Thanks for the reminder, I'll queue these up for the next round of
stable releases after the next ones go out in a day or so.
I've queued them up, thanks!
