kernel: fs/smb/client: fix out-of-bounds read in cifs_sanitize_prepath

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CIFS Common Internet File System client. When the cifssanitizeprepath function processes specially crafted input, such as an empty string or a string containing only delimiters, it can attempt to read data beyond its allocated memory buffer. This out-of-boun...
