2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Vasiliy Kulikov <[email protected]> commit 2949ad50711cc161721cf788711722eeeca33764 upstream. File position is not controlled, it may lead to overwrites of arbitrary kernel memory. Also the code may kfree() the same pointer multiple times. One more flaw is still present: if multiple processes open the file then all 3 static variables are shared, leading to various race conditions. They should be moved to file->private_data.
