selinux: fix context string corruption in convert_context()

Browse Source 
commit 2a5243937c upstream.

string_to_context_struct() may garble the context string, so we need to
copy back the contents again from the old context struct to avoid
storing the corrupted context.

Since string_to_context_struct() tokenizes (and therefore truncates) the
context string and we are later potentially copying it with kstrdup(),
this may eventually cause pieces of uninitialized kernel memory to be
disclosed to userspace (when copying to userspace based on the stored
length and not the null character).

How to reproduce on Fedora and similar:
    # dnf install -y memcached
    # systemctl start memcached
    # semodule -d memcached
    # load_policy
    # load_policy
    # systemctl stop memcached
    # ausearch -m AVC
    type=AVC msg=audit(1570090572.648:313): avc:  denied  { signal } for  pid=1 comm="systemd" scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=process permissive=0 trawcon=73797374656D5F75007400000000000070BE6E847296FFFF726F6D000096FFFF76
