We are using rndis instead of ncm.

Not sure if it's related, but in my case (USB rndis, Debian 10 OS) it
should be able to set MTU to 2000.

The last 3 calls of ast_vhub_epn_handle_ack():

ast_vhub_epn_handle_ack：req->last_desc=-1
req.actual=1024,req.length=1578,ep->ep.maxpacket=512
ast_vhub_epn_handle_ack：req->last_desc=-1
req.actual=1536,req.length=1578,ep->ep.maxpacket=512
ast_vhub_epn_handle_ack：req->last_desc=1
req.actual=1634,req.length=1578,ep->ep.maxpacket=512

We can see the last packet 1634 exceeds the req.legnth 1578, and
that's when the buffer overflow occurs.
