Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] ext4: avoid potential buffer over-read in parse_apply_sb_mount_options()
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 12:44:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021164418.2381659-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025101623-skydiver-grading-5b2f@gregkh>
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
[ Upstream commit 8ecb790ea8c3fc69e77bace57f14cf0d7c177bd8 ]
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.
