CVE Request: kernel: fs/partitions: Corrupted OSF partition table can cause information disclosure

[Timo Warns <warns () pre-sense de>]

The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c)
contains a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for
certain corrupted OSF partitions.

See http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg82737.html for a patch.

Cheers, Timo
