Problem seems to be that strings for cluster stack and\ncluster name are not guaranteed to be null terminated in the disk\nrepresentation, while strlcpy assumes that the source string is always\nnull terminated.  This causes a read outside of the source string\ntriggering the buffer overflow detection.\n\n  detected buffer overflow in strlen\n  ------------[ cut here ]------------\n  kernel BUG at lib/string.c:1149!\n  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI\n  CPU: 1 PID: 910 Comm: mount.ocfs2 Not tainted 5.14.0-1-amd64 #1\n    Debian 5.14.6-2\n  RIP: 0010:fortify_panic+0xf/0x11\n  ...\n  Call Trace:\n   ocfs2_initialize_super.isra.0.cold+0xc/0x18 [ocfs2]\n   ocfs2_fill_super+0x359/0x19b0 [ocfs2]\n   mount_bdev+0x185/0x1b0\n   legacy_get_tree+0x27/0x40\n   vfs_get_tree+0x25/0xb0\n   path_mount+0x454/0xa20\n   __x64_sys_mount+0x103/0x140\n   do_syscall_64+0x3b/0xc0\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-787"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e677ea5b7396f715a76b6b0ef441430e4c4b57f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/232ed9752510de4436468b653d145565669c8498","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4b74ddcc22ee6455946e80a9c4808801f8f8561e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7623b1035ca2d17bde0f6a086ad6844a34648df1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/93be0eeea14cf39235e585c8f56df3b3859deaad"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:50:30.954589733+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-47458","score":0.00249,"percentile":0.16238,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
