In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2:
mount fails with buffer overflow in strlen Starting with kernel 5.11 built
with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE 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 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at
