The length check for AF_ALG salg_name and salg_type had a off-by-one error. The code assumed that both values are not necessarily NULL terminated. However the Kernel code for alg_bind() ensures that the last byte of both strings are NULL terminated. Signed-off-by: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org> (cherry picked from commit 2eb6ad8)
