[PATCH] fs/squashfs: sqfs_read: Prevent arbitrary code execution

[Miquel Raynal]

Following Jincheng's report, an out-of-band write leading to arbitrary
code execution is possible because on one side the squashfs logic
accepts directory names up to 65535 bytes (u16), while U-Boot fs logic
accepts directory names up to 255 bytes long.

Prevent such an exploit from happening by capping directory name sizes
to 255. Use a define for this purpose so that developers can link the
limitation to its source and eventually kill it some day by dynamically
allocating this array (if ever desired).

Hello Jincheng, can you please give this fix a try?

Thanks!
