For example, when mount opt is redundently specified (e.g., "user=A,user=B,user=C"), kernel kept allocating new key/val with kstrdup() and overwrite previous ptr (to be freed). Althouhg mkfs.cifs in userspace performs a bit of sanitization (e.g., forcing one user option), current implementation is not robust. Other options such as iocharset and domainanme are similary vulnerable.
