Subject: ovl: copy_up_xattr(): use strnlen
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8b326c61de08f5ca4bc454a168f19e7e43c4cc2a upstream.
Be defensive about what underlying fs provides us in the returned xattr
list buffer. strlen() may overrun the buffer, so use strnlen() and WARN if
the contents are not properly null terminated.
