This command:
# echo foo/bar >/proc/$$/attr/smack/current
gives the task a label 'foo' w/o indication
that label does not match input.
Setting the label with lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
behaves identically.
This occures because:
1) smk_parse_smack() is used to convert input to a label
2) smk_parse_smack() takes only that part from the
beginning of the input that looks like a label.
3) `/' is prohibited in labels, so only "foo" is taken.
(2) is by design, because smk_parse_smack() is used
for parsing strings which are more than just a label.
Silent failure is not a good thing, and there are two
indicators that this was not done intentionally:
(size >= SMK_LONGLABEL) ~> invalid
clause at the beginning of the do_setattr() and the
"Returns the length of the smack label" claim
in the do_setattr() description.
So I fixed this by adding one tiny check:
the taken label length == input length.
Since input length is now strictly controlled,
I changed the two ways of setting label
