Normally, this does not have an impact unless security.selinux is set with setfattr, with a value not terminated by '\0' (this is not the recommended way, security.selinux should be set with the appropriate tools such as chcon and restorecon). In this case, the kernel and the user see two different xattr values: the former sees the xattr value without '\0' (raw value), the latter sees the value with '\0' (value normalized by SELinux). This could result in two different verification outcomes from EVM and ima-evm-utils, if a signature was calculated with a security.selinux value terminated by '\0' and the value set in the filesystem is not terminated by '\0'. The former would report verification failure due to the missing '\0', while the latter would report verification success (because it gets the normalized value with '\0'). This patch mitigates this issue by comparing in evm_calc_hmac_or_hash() the size of the xattr returned by the two xattr functions and by warning the user if there is a discrepancy.
