+Subject: [media] V4L/DVB: v4l2-ioctl: integer overflow in video_usercopy()
+From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
+Date: Thu Jan 5 02:27:57 2012 -0300
+
+If ctrls->count is too high the multiplication could overflow and
+array_size would be lower than expected.  Mauro and Hans Verkuil
+suggested that we cap it at 1024.  That comes from the maximum
+number of controls with lots of room for expantion.
