Subject: [PATCH 3.16 68/87] apparmor: enforce nullbyte at end of tag string

3.16.75-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>

commit 8404d7a674c49278607d19726e0acc0cae299357 upstream.

A packed AppArmor policy contains null-terminated tag strings that are read
by unpack_nameX(). However, unpack_nameX() uses string functions on them
without ensuring that they are actually null-terminated, potentially
leading to out-of-bounds accesses.

Make sure that the tag string is null-terminated before passing it to
strcmp().
