audit: format user messages to size of MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH
Messages of type AUDIT_USER_TTY were being formatted to 1024 octets, truncating messages approaching MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH (8970 octets). Set the formatting to 8560 characters, given maximum estimates for prefix and suffix budgets. See the problem discussion: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2009-January/msg00030.html And the new size rationale: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-September/msg00016.html Test ~8k messages with: auditctl -m "$(for i in $(seq -w 001 820);do echo -n "${i}0______";done)" Reported-by: LC Bruzenak <lenny@magitekltd.com> Reported-by: Justin Stephenson <jstephen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
