+Subject: basic/unit-name: do not use strdupa() on a path
+
+The path may have unbounded length, for example through a fuse mount.
+
+CVE-2021-33910: attacked controlled alloca() leads to crash in systemd and
+ultimately a kernel panic. Systemd parses the content of /proc/self/mountinfo
+and each mountpoint is passed to mount_setup_unit(), which calls
+unit_name_path_escape() underneath. A local attacker who is able to mount a
+filesystem with a very long path can crash systemd and the whole system.
+
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1970887
+
+The resulting string length is bounded by UNIT_NAME_MAX, which is 256. But we
+can't easily check the length after simplification before doing the
+simplification, which in turns uses a copy of the string we can write to.
+So we can't reject paths that are too long before doing the duplication.
+Hence the most obvious solution is to switch back to strdup(), as before
