Hi Steve,

Here's a minimal list of fixes that both Jeff and I think should go for
-stable. All of these are addressing destination buffer overruns.

I have mostly refreshed the identitied commits from upstream/cifs-2.6,
taken as-is/few relevant chunks. Patch 4/5 needs attention as upstream
fixes this differently. And 5/5 already has -stable in the CC.

01-cifs-fix-buffer-size-for-nativeFileSystem
02-cifs-fix-temp-buffer-size-in-cifs_readdir
03-cifs-fix-dest-buffer-size-in-cifs_strncpy_to_host
04-cifs-fix-cifs_convertUCSpath
05-cifs-fix-unicode-string-alignment-in-session-setup

I've not CC-ed stable. Once you ACK these (add/remove patches), we could
ask stable to include these patches.


Thanks,
