Subject: ACPICA: Fix possible buffer overflow during a field unit read operation
From: Bob Moore <[email protected]>
commit 61388f9e5d93053cf399a356414f31f9b4814c6d upstream.
Can only happen under these conditions: 1) The DSDT version is 1,
meaning integers are 32-bits. 2) The field is between 33 and 64
bits long.
It applies cleanly back to ACPICA 20100806+ (Linux v2.6.37+).
