[PATCH 01/06] ecryptfs: Validate minimum header extent size

[Stephan Müller]

Kernel version: 2.6.17-mm1

The encrypted file ecryptfs maintains has in the first page meta data that 
is needed for ecryptfs operation. As the encrypted file is untrusted, 
every bit read of that file must be validated.

The patch ensures that crypt_stat->num_header_extents_at_front is checked 
for improper values.
