Hi All,
Enclosed are 10 probable security holes where code treats a pointer as
a bad user pointer in one place (by passing it as an argument to a
*_user or verify_area routine) but then dereferences it, or passes it
to a routine that does dereference it somewhere else.
We've reported many of these bugs before.
