From: Tianchu Chen <flynnnchen@tencent.com>
st95hf_spi_recv_response() reads a 2-byte header from the device,
derives the total response length from it (up to 1025 bytes via the
long-frame encoding) and then blindly reads len - 2 more bytes into
the caller's buffer, whose size it knows nothing about.
Call sites can be overflowed by a device reporting a large length,
for example, st95hf_irq_thread_handler() passes the data area of a
280-byte skb.
ST95HF datasheet states "In Reader mode it is possible to receive up to
528 bytes of frame data from VICC and TypeB cards", so technically a bogus
NFC tag may trigger the OOB-write if the card-reader's firmware allows
large packets.
Add a buff_len parameter and reject a device-reported length that does
not fit into the caller's buffer before issuing the second SPI
transfer. Also modify callers to pass their real buffer sizes.
