Since we've seen a few regressions w/ longterm updates lately, I thought
I'd use a bug as a way to review each change w/ a Debian-specific
lens.
Here's my initial pass - other reviews welcome..
> eebefbf xfs: zero proper structure size for geometry calls
already included in 2.6.32-33
> bd378dd net: fix rds_iovec page count overflow
overflow fix, looks pretty straightforward
> c18114e exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths
already included in 2.6.32-30
> d3de146 exec: make argv/envp memory visible to oom-killer
already included in 2.6.32-30
> 40521c9 CAN: Use inode instead of kernel address for /proc file
already included in 2.6.32-31
> 9d880ce irda: prevent integer underflow in IRLMP_ENUMDEVICES
already included in 2.6.32-30
> 7847ca8 econet: Fix crash in aun_incoming().
already included in 2.6.32-30
> 2dbba29 inet_diag: Make sure we actually run the same bytecode we audited.
already included in 2.6.32-30
> 4312007 net: tipc: fix information leak to userland
already included in 2.6.32-30
> fe540c3 nfsd: fix auth_domain reference leak on nlm operations
fixes a reference leak - code change looks innocuous enough
> f101d38 ext4: fix credits computing for indirect mapped files
I'm not sure what improvement this provides users
> 975c07c net: packet: fix information leak to userland
already included in 2.6.32-30
> 1fe4497 net: ax25: fix information leak to userland
already included in 2.6.32-30
> 483cb5a atm/solos-pci: Don't include frame pseudo-header on transmit hex-dump
This seems to be a fixup for debug code? I suggest omitting.
> 3f89dad sctp: fix to calc the INIT/INIT-ACK chunk length correctly is set
Fixes an oops; commit log includes a test case we should use to verify.
> ba7eb95 Squashfs: handle corruption of directory structure
Adds some sanity checks that might avoid an oops; looks good to me
> 794e8ff Revert "x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded"
Already queued for 2.6.32-34 (#621072)
> 7b74539 powerpc: Fix default_machine_crash_shutdown #ifdef botch

> 6373cc6 x86, microcode, AMD: Extend ucode size verification
I'll defer to Ben who commented on this upstream.
> 7dbaa2b x86, amd-ucode: Remove needless log messages
Removes a useless log message... doesn't seem >= important to me
> 5381fb8 gro: reset skb_iif on reuse
Doesn't apply to our tree
> 2863e5a gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse
This looks like it'd apply, but I'll defer to Ben's network expertise here
> 79760cb repair gdbstub to match the gdbserial protocol specification
We don't enable KGDB, but it might fix an issue for someone using our
source to build their own kernel.
> a98fa05 sound: oss: midi_synth: check get_user() return value
> 0042e33 sound/oss: remove offset from load_patch callbacks
We don't build these, but might help someone building w/ our source
> d343ebc econet: 4 byte infoleak to the network
Already included in 2.6.32-32
> 48a129a drivers/misc/ep93xx_pwm.c: world-writable sysfs files
> 92d191d drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1511.c: world-writable sysfs nvram file
These should probably get CVEs
> 23b37e1 mfd: ab3100: world-writable debugfs *_priv files
debugfs shouldn't get a CVE, but should be fixed
> a41e7f1 ipv6: netfilter: ip6_tables: fix infoleak to userspace
Already included in 2.6.32-32
> 8fd563c netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow

looks like a data corruption fix

just adding ids
> e826581 Bluetooth: bnep: fix buffer overflow
already fixed in 2.6.32-32
> a04a632 bridge: netfilter: fix information leak
already fixed in 2.6.32-32

just adding ids
> d7c7517 mm: avoid wrapping vm_pgoff in mremap()
avoids a BUG()

the journaling filesystem aspect seems like it makes this a candidate

fixes an oops
> 5cb4b85 UBIFS: fix oops on error path in read_pnode
good oops fix
> b7236ed UBIFS: do not read flash unnecessarily
basically a performance improvement... but trivial.

looks good

fixed in 2.6.32-32
> bd94ab2 Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
looks like a good correctness fix
> 11ab449 staging: hv: use sync_bitops when interacting with the hypervisor
> af352e4 staging: hv: Fix GARP not sent after Quick Migration
we don't enable HYPERV, but might be good for those who build from our source
> 1ed34c9 staging: usbip: bugfix for isochronous packets and optimization
> d9638d9 staging: usbip: bugfix add number of packets for isochronous frames
> 98d7db5 staging: usbip: bugfixes related to kthread conversion
I'm a bit concerned about the size of these patches, but they *seem*
important for compatibility (and the last one avoids a deadlock)
> a82a276 eCryptfs: ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig() bug fix
looks like a simple oops fix
> b6ec409 eCryptfs: Unlock page in write_begin error path
looks good/safe
> 4000177 ses: Avoid kernel panic when lun 0 is not mapped
+1
> 56b7b7b ses: show devices for enclosures with no page 7
i think we can file this under "adds hw support"
> f0726c7 mac80211: initialize sta->last_rx in sta_info_alloc
seems like a safe fix for an annoying bug
> ef79e14 sound/oss/opl3: validate voice and channel indexes
we don't build it, but good for those who may use our source
