Subject: Please REJECT CVE-2011-1161

Patch for this CVE in its original form tried to limit TPM_PARAMSIZE to
the userspace buffer size. While this is still an unsolved problem
(because of the patch changes), with patches for CVE-2011-1160 and
CVE-2011-1162 applied this is a security hardening not a security flaw.
Please reject this as a dupe of CVE-2011-1160 and/or CVE-2011-1162.
