From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0d74e6a3b6421d98eeafbed26f29156d469bc0b5 upstream. If the string opt_string is small, the function memcmp can access bytes that are beyond the terminating nul character. In theory, it could cause segfault, if opt_string were located just below some unmapped memory. Change from memcmp to strncmp so that we don't read bytes beyond the end of the string.
