maxv 83fce8c371 1) 'error' is returned while it does not even hold an error code. Which
means that zero is returned, and the kernel keeps mounting (and it
   probably ends up in a deadlock/memory corruption somewhere).
2) 'nentries' and 'gnentries' are int and user-controlled, and there's no
   check to ensure they are greater than zero. Since they are used to
   compute the size of two copyin's, a user can control the copied size
   by giving a negative value (like 128-2^29), and thus overwrite kernel
   memory.

Both triggerable from root only.
