Subject: [media] v4l2-ctrls: fix integer overflow in v4l2_g_ext_ctrls()
Author:  Xi Wang <[email protected]>
Date:    Fri Apr 6 09:32:36 2012 -0300

A large cs->count from userspace may overflow the allocation size,
leading to memory corruption.  v4l2_g_ext_ctrls() can be reached
from subdev_do_ioctl() or __video_do_ioctl().

Use kmalloc_array() to avoid the overflow.
