Debian provides an out-of-tree drbd module (drbd8), and it appears to
be affected by this issue as well. I assume we need to allocate an
additional CVE ID for it?

Here's a link to the upstream fix:
http://git.drbd.org/?p=drbd-8.3.git;a=commitdiff;h=71915b0d267392c77fe0ae2309535333026cef66

The in-tree version that got merged for 2.6.33 looks fine.

Maybe just go to current upstream drbd 8.3.7?

Lars,
 Thanks for the suggestion. That is a possible solution for our next
release of Debian (as is moving to the in-tree version), but for our
current stable release we have backported "just-the-fix" as required
by our security update policy.
