A packed AppArmor policy contains null-terminated tag strings that are read by unpack_nameX(). However, unpack_nameX() uses string functions on them without ensuring that they are actually null-terminated, potentially leading to out-of-bounds accesses.
Make sure that the tag string is null-terminated before passing it to strcmp().
