This is similar to commit 84e99e58e8d1 ("Smack: slab-out-of-bounds in
vsscanf") where we added a bounds check on "rule".

This check is very straight forward and should fix the bug.  But if you
look at the fixes tag we used to rely on the check:

	if (count != (SMK_CIPSOMIN + catlen * SMK_DIGITLEN))

and now that has been changed to:

	if (format == SMK_FIXED24_FMT &&
	    count != (SMK_CIPSOMIN + catlen * SMK_DIGITLEN))
                goto out;

so it doesn't apply for every format.
