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