commit 991a25194097006ec1e0d2e0814ff920e59e3465 upstream. 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. Signed-off-by: H.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
