Root cause

When data is copied, the source length is not compared with the size of the destination buffer. Excess data overwrites adjacent memory.

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

1char buf[256];2memcpy(buf, pkt->data, pkt->len);

1char buf[256];2if (pkt->len > sizeof(buf)) {3  return -EINVAL;4}5memcpy(buf, pkt->data, pkt->len);
