There have been various security fixes recently which broke other 
things, so I am being careful now.

Reading through the RNDIS code, do you think the rndis_query_response 
and others which use buffer/offset data from the message should also be 
sanitized the same way ? I can imagine the query can be used to do test 
for 1bit of data all over the memory too.
