Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid potential buffer over-read in parse_apply_sb_mount_options()
Unlike other strings in the ext4 superblock, we rely on tune2fs to
make sure s_mount_opts is NUL terminated. Harden
parse_apply_sb_mount_options() by treating s_mount_opts as a potential
__nonstring.
