[PATCH] nfc: pn533: fix OOB read in pn533_acr122_is_rx_frame_valid()

From: Deepanshu Kartikey

Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 01:44:09 EST


frame->ccid.datalen is read directly from the USB response frame
and used, unchecked, as an index into frame->data[]. A malicious or
malfunctioning device can set this field to an arbitrary value,
causing the driver to read far outside the received buffer.

Bound ccid.datalen against the maximum possible ACR122 frame size
before using it, and reject values less than 2 to avoid the
"datalen - 2" underflowing.
