The same for 2.6.28-stable tree.

On top of commit b363b330, we need:
f083def6 - cifs: fix buffer size for tcon->nativeFileSystem field
22c9d52b - cifs: remove unnedded bcc_ptr update in CIFSTCon
and maybe this too:
313fecfa - cifs: add cFYI messages with some of the saved strings from
ssetup/tcon

There is no CVE name for this yet. Still waiting.

Thanks, Eugene
