In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_nfacct: don't assume acct name is null-terminated
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in .. lib/vsprintf.c:721
Read of size 1 at addr ffff88801eac95c8 by task syz-executor183/5851

nfnl_acct_find_get() handles non-null input, but the error
printk relied on its presence.
