Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL characters
currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.
Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.
