I noticed that commit 0ef38d70d411 ("alpha: fix broken network
checksum") was included in Linux 3.2.56, 3.5.7.30 and 3.8.13.18, but it
was supposed to fix a regression in 3.12 that does not obviously affect
these stable branches.
That regression was introduced by commit 3ddc5b46a8e9 ("kernel-wide: fix
missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()") which
hasn't been applied to any stable branch. But it seems like it should
be, along with the follow-up fixes. What do you think?

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
