[PATCH] ocfs2: mount fails with buffer overflow in strlen

From: Valentin Vidic
Date: Mon Sep 27 2021 - 11:55:29 EST


Starting with kernel v5.11 mouting an ocfs2 filesystem with either o2cb
or pcmk cluster stack fails with the trace below. Problem seems to be
that strings for cluster stack and cluster name are not guaranteed to be
null terminated in the disk representation, while strlcpy assumes that
the source string is always null terminated. This causes a read outside
of the source string triggering the buffer overflow detection.

detected buffer overflow in strlen
