Thanks Jeff.

Yes, this is obviously the wrong thing to being doing; I remember
checking to make sure we placed the audit_openat2_how() hook after the
open_how was copied from userspace, but I missed the argv dereference
in the syscall exit path when reviewing the code.

Richard, as we are already copying the open_how info into
audit_context::openat2 safely, the obvious fix is to convert
audit_match_perm() to use the previously copied value instead of argv.
If you can't submit a patch for this today please let me know.
