If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit dd111be69114cc867f8e826284559bfbc1c40e37 upstream. When root activates a swap partition whose header has the wrong endianness, nr_badpages elements of badpages are swabbed before nr_badpages has been checked, leading to a buffer overrun of up to 8GB. This normally is not a security issue because it can only be exploited by root (more specifically, a process with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or the ability to modify a swap file/partition), and such a process can already e.g. modify swapped-out memory of any other userspace process on the system.
