In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: Fix out-of-bounds read in bondoptionarpiptargets_set()
In function bondoptionarpiptargets_set(), if newval->string is an empty string, newval->string+1 will point to the byte after the string, causing an out-of-bound read.

Fix it by adding a check of string length before using it.
