5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bf6acd5d16057d7accbbb1bf7dc6d8c56eeb4ecc upstream. The decompression code parses a huffman tree and counts the number of symbols for a given bit length. In rare cases, there may be >= 256 symbols with a given bit length, causing the unsigned char to overflow. This causes a decompression failure later when the code tries and fails to find the bit length for a given symbol. Since the maximum number of symbols is 258, use unsigned short instead.
