4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>
commit f505754fd6599230371cb01b9332754ddc104be1 upstream.
We were using the path name received from user space without checking that
it is null terminated. While btrfs-progs is well behaved and does proper
validation and null termination, someone could call the ioctl and pass
a non-null terminated patch, leading to buffer overrun problems in the
kernel. The ioctl is protected by CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
So just set the last byte of the path to a null character, similar to what
we do in other ioctls (add/remove/resize device, snapshot creation, etc).
