[PATCH] nfc: st21nfca: Fix potential buffer overflows in EVT_TRANSACTION

From: Jordy Zomer
Date: Wed Nov 17 2021 - 12:17:20 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 :)
