I am talking about the part which you described yourself as regression. But I 
agree that the overflow bug is in there since the beginning of the gateway 
code.

There is a stable branch for Linux 2.6.32.x. Linux 2.6.32 came out 2009. So it 
is possible that David Miller decides to submit the overflow patch to stable 
for 2.6.32. This is not in our jurisdiction. The same may be the case for the 
regression - but then somebody (David Miller/stable team) must know how severe 
the problem is and when it was introduced.

Kind regards,
