tunables: Terminate if end of input is reached (CVE-2023-4911)
The string parsing routine may end up writing beyond bounds of tunestr
if the input tunable string is malformed, of the form name=name=val.
This gets processed twice, first as name=name=val and next as name=val,
resulting in tunestr being name=name=val:name=val, thus overflowing
tunestr.
Terminate the parsing loop at the first instance itself so that tunestr
does not overflow.
This also fixes up tst-env-setuid-tunables to actually handle failures
correct and add new tests to validate the fix for this CVE.
