[4.3.0-55.el6.22.51]
- pcnet: force the buffer access to be in bounds during tx
4096 is the maximum length per TMD and it is also currently the size of
the relay buffer pcnet driver uses for sending the packet data to QEMU
for further processing. With packet spanning multiple TMDs it can
happen that the overall packet size will be bigger than sizeof(buffer),
which results in memory corruption.
Fix this by only allowing to queue maximum sizeof(buffer) bytes.
This is CVE-2015-3209.

- pcnet: fix Negative array index read

s->xmit_pos maybe assigned to a negative value (-1),
but in this branch variable s->xmit_pos as an index to
array s->buffer. Let's add a check for s->xmit_pos.
