📋 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.
