[PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_nokia: validate firmware packet bounds

From: Pengpeng Hou

Date: Mon Jul 06 2026 - 06:02:55 EST


nokia_setup_fw() walks a length-prefixed firmware stream and
decodes HCI command packets from each record.

Check that each record fits in the remaining firmware image, that command
records contain the HCI command header, and that the payload length is
covered before submitting the command.
