2.6.33-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------------

From: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner(a)canonical.com>

commit 2c08522e5d2f0af2d6f05be558946dcbf8173683 upstream.

e->index overflows e->stamps[] every ip_pkt_list_tot packets.

Consider the case when ip_pkt_list_tot==1; the first packet received is stored
in e->stamps[0] and e->index is initialized to 1. The next received packet
timestamp is then stored at e->stamps[1] in recent_entry_update(),
a buffer overflow because the maximum e->stamps[] index is 0.
