This one looks like it fell through the cracks, it's in 2.6.19.2 but not upstream yet.

Subject: [PATCH] ext2: skip pages past number of blocks in ext2_find_entry (CVE-2006-6054)
From: Eric Sandeen <[email protected]>
This one was pointed out on the MOKB site:
http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-09-11-2006-linux-26x-ext2checkpage.html
If a directory's i_size is corrupted, ext2_find_entry() will keep processing
pages until the i_size is reached, even if there are no more blocks associated
with the directory inode. This patch puts in some minimal sanity-checking
so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing errors) if we know there
can be no more data to read, based on the block count of the directory inode.
This is somewhat similar in approach to the ext3 patch I sent earlier this
year.
