Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to avoid out-of-boundary access in devs.path

[16937.192268] F2FS-fs (loop0): Failed to find devices
If device path length equals to MAX_PATH_LEN, sbi->devs.path[] may
not end up w/ null character due to path array is fully filled, So
accidently, fields locate after path[] may be treated as part of
device path, result in parsing wrong device path.
struct f2fs_dev_info {
...
char path[MAX_PATH_LEN];
...
};
Let's add one byte space for sbi->devs.path[] to store null
character of device path string.
