If user get root access and calls security.selinux setxattr() with an embedded NUL on a file and then if some process performs a getxattr() on that file with a length greater than the actual length of the string, it would result in a panic.
To fix this, add the actual length of the string to the security context instead of the length passed by the userspace process.
