+Description:
+ Signedness error in the copy_from_read_buf function in n_tty.c for Linux
+ kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1 allows local users to read kernel memory via a
+ negative argument.
+Notes:
+ dannf> This doesn't affect 2.4:
+ marcello> v2.4 does not suffer from the issue mentioned by Guninski because
+ marcello> the first argument of the arithmetic comparison is not casted
+ marcello> to a "signed" value:
+ .
+ marcello> n = min((ssize_t)*nr, n);
+ .
+ marcello> That was the problem in v2.6, where an unsigned value bigger than
+ marcello> 2^31 would be treated as a negative signed.
