[SECURITY] secmark: nul-terminate secdata
The patch below fixes a problem in the iptables SECMARK target, where the user-supplied 'selctx' string may not be nul-terminated. From initial analysis, it seems that the strlen() called from selinux_string_to_sid() could run until it arbitrarily finds a zero, and possibly cause a kernel oops before then. The impact of this appears limited because the operation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is essentially always root. Also, the module is not yet in wide use.
