Modified Files:
src/sys/kern: kern_sysctl.c
Log Message:
Check the "oldlen" argument to sysctl(2) before passing it
to vslock(9). This prevents a local DOS.
(The checks against system and user limits for wired
memory should be centralized in UVM; for now prefer a less
invasive fix which can be pulled pulled up into releases.)
