Check the identifier for initial SIDs is less than the maximum known ID. The kernel will ignore all unknown IDs, see security/selinux/ss/policydb.c:policydb_load_isids(). Without checking huge IDs result in OOM events, while writing policies, e.g. in write_sids_to_conf() or write_sids_to_cil(), due to allocation of large (continuous) string lists.
