valgrind-3.7.0/debian/patches/fix-buffer-overflows.patch says:

 Description: fix a couple of overflows in vgdb
  the overflows cause vgdb to crash in quantal with gcc-4.7
  the crash does not occur on my precise platform but fix the issue
  there just to be safe.

I'm allowing this in the SRU in this case because it's been waiting in
the queue for so long and don't want to have to bounce it back out for
you.  But in the future, please don't include changes like this in SRU
that have no known upside - regardless of how small you think the
potential downside is.

** Changed in: valgrind (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed
