SubjectRe: Buffer overflow in the mptctl_replace_fw() function in linux kernel MPT ioctl driver

This is an integer overflow, but it's harmless... As a static checker
developer this is where I would print a warning:
drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c:1748 mptctl_replace_fw() warn: potential integer overflow from user '((karg.newImageSize)) + (((4)) - 1)'
I also caught the integer overflow from two days ago but there are too
many ones like this so I can't check them all. In mpt_alloc_fw_memory()
there is another potential integer overflow when we do:

ioc->alloc_total += size;

But ->alloc_total is not used anywhere.

I don't see a buffer overflow here.
