[PATCH] USB: fix CAN-2004-0075

Okay, now while we are at fixing security holes, is there any chance we
can _finally_ get the attached patch in?

The Vicam USB driver in all Linux Kernels 2.6 mainline does not use the
copy_from_user function when copying data from userspace to kernel space,
which crosses security boundaries and allows local users to cause a denial
of service.

Already ACKed by Greg. Only complaint was inproper coding style which is done
with attached patch ;)

ciao, Marc
