I looking at this, it doesn't seem to apply at all to the .27 tree.  If
David doesn't object, care to backport it there and send it to
stable@kernel.org?

Strange... I just tried to apply patch on top of a fresh linux-2.6.27.6 tree and got no error

# patch -p1 < /tmp/icmp_snmp.patch
patching file net/ipv4/proc.c

I've attached the patch I tried to apply below.  It fails with:
	$ patch -p1 --dry-run < ../net-fix-proc-net-snmp-as-memory-corruptor.patch 
	patching file net/ipv4/proc.c
	Hunk #1 FAILED at 237.
	1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv4/proc.c.rej


Any thoughts?

commit b971e7ac834e9f4bda96d5a96ae9abccd01c1dd8 upstream.

icmpmsg_put() can happily corrupt kernel memory, using a static
table and forgetting to reset an array index in a loop.

Remove the static array since its not safe without proper locking.

Yes, you lost all the '\' character in "\n" sequences... 
Also one missing ":" at the end of one line

I dont know how you did it :)

Oh crap, that's my fault.  I hate bash at times, I'm using a script to
copy changesets and format them in the way that works for the stable
tree.  I need to switch it to perl so these things don't happen :(

In looking closer, I also messed up on some other patches in this -rc1,
I need to redo the whole thing.  Ugh.

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll fix it up.
