Subject: [PATCH 133/135] netfilter: x_tables: check for size overflow

[ Upstream commit d157bd761585605b7882935ffb86286919f62ea1 ]

Ben Hawkes says:
 integer overflow in xt_alloc_table_info, which on 32-bit systems can
 lead to small structure allocation and a copy_from_user based heap
 corruption.
