Subject: cifs: fix potential buffer overrun when composing a new options string
From: Jeff Layton <jlay...@redhat.com>
commit 166faf21bd14bc5c5295a44874bf7f3930c30b20 upstream.
Consider the case where we have a very short ip= string in the original
mount options, and when we chase a referral we end up with a very long
IPv6 address. Be sure to allow for that possibility when estimating the
size of the string to allocate.
