Hi,

This is a resend (the previous report was ignored, however I feel that
these bugs could be severe).

Here are 5 bugs in 2.5.63 where user pointers are passed into memcpy or
simple_strtoul without verifications. These bugs appear functions assigned
to struct proc_dir_entry.write_proc, where a malicious user can call
write_proc on a arbitrary pointer pointing to any sensitive kernel data,
then call the corresponding read_proc to get back the data.

Please confirm or clarify. Thanks!
