>Description:

There's a problem with the way mount_nfs(8) parses
acregmin/acregmax/acdirmin and acdirmax.

Look at the code :

                        if (altflags & ALTF_ACREGMIN) {
                                nfsargsp->flags |= NFSMNT_ACREGMIN;
                                nfsargsp->acregmin =
                                    atoi(strstr(optarg, "acregmin=") + 9);
                        }
                        if (altflags & ALTF_ACREGMAX) {
                                nfsargsp->flags |= NFSMNT_ACREGMAX;
                                nfsargsp->acregmax =
                                    atoi(strstr(optarg, "acregmax=") + 9);
                        }


For instance if we use both acregmin and acregmax :

- on the first round, the ALTF_ACREGMIN will be set, everything's allright.

- on the next round (when optarg willl be "acregmax=xxx"), the first
statement will also get evaluated because ALTF_ACREGMIN has been set.
But strstr(optarg, "acregmin=") will be NULL. Dereferencing NULL + 9 produces
an obvious segmentation fault.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try for instance to mount a filesystem with acregmin=2,acregmax=2.
A segmentation fault occurs even when the command has not been started by
root.
