Description: 
 Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1-bk6 uses different size types for offset
 arguments to the proc_file_read and locks_read_proc functions, which leads to
 a heap-based buffer overflow when a signed comparison causes negative integers
 to be used in a positive context.
Notes: 
 dannf> 2.4 doesn't do the signed cast, so it shouldn't be vulnerable
