Subject[GIT PULL] SELinux fixes for v4.17 (#2)
Hi Linus,

One more small fix for SELinux: a small string length fix found by
KASAN. I dislike sending patches this late in the release cycle, but
this patch fixes a legitimate problem, is very small, limited in
scope, and well understood. There are two threads with more
information on the problem, the latest is linked below:

* https://marc.info/?t=152723737400001&r=1&w=2

If you're hesitant to pull this into v4.17 at such a late stage, it
probably isn't going to cause major problems as Stephen points out in
the thread linked above:

"Such a setxattr() call can only be performed by a process
with CAP_MAC_ADMIN that is also allowed mac_admin permission
in SELinux policy. Consequently, this is never possible on
Android (no process is allowed mac_admin permission, always
enforcing) and is only possible in Fedora/RHEL for a few
domains (if enforcing)."

Thanks,
-Paul
