The submitter sent me private mail, telling me:
- a little more explanation of how this can be exploited
- that this is exploitable in a stock installation in sarge
- that read() can overwrite part of the buffer before returning EFAULT
- that company policy forbids him from providing a working exploit

I think we'll have to work on the basis that the upstream fix is
necessary and sufficient.

Ben.
