Subject:  [SECURITY] CAN-2004-0109 isofs fix.

Merged in 2.4, and various vendor kernels today..

  iDefense reported a buffer overflow flaw in the ISO9660 filesystem code.
  An attacker could create a malicious filesystem in such a way that they
  could gain root privileges if that filesystem is mounted. The Common
  Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
  CAN-2004-0109 to this issue.

Ernie Petrides came up with the following patch which I fixed up a slight
reject in to apply to 2.6. Otherwise, unchanged from the 2.4 patch.

diff against bk-HEAD from a few minutes ago.
