Oops. "smaller" than.

Can somebody test below patch? (My CentOS 7 environment does not support
enabling SELinux in linux.git . Userspace tool is too old to support?)

Subject: [PATCH] selinux: Fix out of bounds read at
security_context_to_sid_core()

Syzbot caught an out of bounds read at security_context_to_sid_core()
because security_context_to_sid_core() assumed that the value written to
/proc/pid/attr interface is terminated with either '\0' or '\n'.
When the value is not terminated with either '\0' or '\n' and
scontext_len < strlen(initial_sid_to_string[i]) is true, strcmp() will
trigger out of bounds read.
