Hi Stef,
It seems like patches were merged upstream for this. I'm including the
upstream git commit id's and descriptions:

USB: usb-storage: don't access beyond the end of the sg buffer
This patch (as1035) fixes a bug in usb_stor_access_xfer_buf() (the bug
was originally found by Boaz Harrosh): The routine must not attempt to
write beyond the end of a scatter-gather list or beyond the number of
bytes requested. It also fixes up the formatting of a few comments
and similar whitespace issues.

usb-storage: update earlier scatter-gather bug fix
This patch (as1037) makes a small update to the earlier as1035 patch.
The minimum-length computation shouldn't be done in
usb_stor_access_xfer_buf(), since that routine can be called multiple
times for a single transfer. It should be done in
usb_stor_set_xfer_buf() instead, which gets called only once.
The way it is now isn't really _wrong_, but it isn't really _right_
either. Moving the statement will be an improvement.

However, please note that we're currently in Beta freeze for Hardy so
these may not get in. If this is the case, they should automatically be
available in the Intrepid Ibex release as the kernel will be rebased
with mainline. Thanks.
