CVE request -- kernel: fuse: check size of FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY message


From: Petr Matousek <pmatouse () redhat com>

FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY didn't check the length of the write so the
message processing could overrun and result in a BUG_ON() in
fuse_copy_fill().

User able to mount FUSE filesystems can use this flaw to crash the
system.
