[PATCH v2] nfc: st-nci: Fix potential buffer overflows in EVT_TRANSACTION

From: Jordy Zomer
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 02:02:30 EST


It appears that there are some buffer overflows in EVT_TRANSACTION.
This happens because the length parameters that are passed to memcpy
come directly from skb->data and are not guarded in any way.

It would be nice if someone can review and test this patch because
I don't own the hardware :)

EDIT: Changed comment style and double newlines
