From: Mikulas Patocka mpatocka@redhat.com Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2019 07:56:02 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dm integrity: change memcmp to strncmp in dm_integrity_ctr
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.
