Added Description

                  
                
              
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tty: hvc_iucv: fix off-by-one in number of supported devices

MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES == HVC_ALLOC_TTY_ADAPTERS == 8.
This is the number of entries in:
  static struct hvc_iucv_private *hvc_iucv_table[MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES];

Sometimes hvc_iucv_table[] is limited by:
(a)	if (num > hvc_iucv_devices) // for error detection
or
(b)	for (i = 0; i < hvc_iucv_devices; i++) // in 2 places
(so these 2 don't agree; second one appears to be correct to me.)

hvc_iucv_devices can be 0..8. This is a counter.
(c)	if (hvc_iucv_devices > MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES)

If hvc_iucv_devices == 8, (a) allows the code to access hvc_iucv_table[8].
Oops.
