    nbd/server: Avoid long error message assertions CVE-2020-10761
    
    Ever since commit 36683283 (v2.8), the server code asserts that error
    strings sent to the client are well-formed per the protocol by not
    exceeding the maximum string length of 4096.  At the time the server
    first started sending error messages, the assertion could not be
    triggered, because messages were completely under our control.
    However, over the years, we have added latent scenarios where a client
    could trigger the server to attempt an error message that would
    include the client's information if it passed other checks first:
    
    - requesting NBD_OPT_INFO/GO on an export name that is not present
      (commit 0cfae925 in v2.12 echoes the name)
    
    - requesting NBD_OPT_LIST/SET_META_CONTEXT on an export name that is
      not present (commit e7b1948d in v2.12 echoes the name)
    
    At the time, those were still safe because we flagged names larger
    than 256 bytes with a different message; but that changed in commit
    93676c88 (v4.2) when we raised the name limit to 4096 to match the NBD
    string limit.  (That commit also failed to change the magic number
    4096 in nbd_negotiate_send_rep_err to the just-introduced named
    constant.)  So with that commit, long client names appended to server
    text can now trigger the assertion, and thus be used as a denial of
    service attack against a server.  As a mitigating factor, if the
    server requires TLS, the client cannot trigger the problematic paths
    unless it first supplies TLS credentials, and such trusted clients are
    less likely to try to intentionally crash the server.
    
    We may later want to further sanitize the user-supplied strings we
    place into our error messages, such as scrubbing out control
    characters, but that is less important to the CVE fix, so it can be a
    later patch to the new nbd_sanitize_name.
    
    Consideration was given to changing the assertion in
    nbd_negotiate_send_rep_verr to instead merely log a server error and
    truncate the message, to avoid leaving a latent path that could
    trigger a future CVE DoS on any new error message.  However, this
    merely complicates the code for something that is already (correctly)
    flagging coding errors, and now that we are aware of the long message
    pitfall, we are less likely to introduce such errors in the future,
    which would make such error handling dead code.
