New Revision: 278106
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/278106

Log:
  MFC r277806:
  
  Use unsigned int for index value.
  
  Without this change a local attacker could trigger a panic by
  tricking the kernel into accessing undefined kernel memory.
  
  We would like to acknowledge Francisco Falcon from CORE Security
  Technologies who discovered the issue and reported to the
  FreeBSD Security Team.
  
  More information can be found at CORE Security's advisory at:
  http://www.coresecurity.com/content/freebsd-kernel-multiple-vulnerabilities
  
  This is an errata candidate for releng/10.1 and releng/9.3.  Earlier
  releases are not affected.
