This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL: Validate line offset

to the 4.8-stable tree which can be found at:
    http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary

The filename of the patch is:
     gpio-gpio_get_lineevent_ioctl-validate-line-offset.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.8 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,

Subject: gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL: Validate line offset

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>

commit b8b0e3d303654b3bb7b31b0266c513fd6f4132ce upstream.

The line offset that is used as an index into the descs array is provided
by userspace and might go beyond the bounds of the array. If that happens
undefined behavior will occur.

Make sure that the offset is within the bounds of the desc array and reject
any requests that specify a value outside of it.

Fixes: 61f922db7221 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading GPIO line events")
