USB Device buffer overflow

[Sultan Khan]

Hello Szymon,

Looks like a generalization of CVE-2022-2347 I found earlier. While both I and Venkatesh Yadav Abbarapu of AMD made patches for that CVE localized to DFU, given the presence of the same problematic pattern elsewhere, the bounds check aspect of that CVE fix would perhaps be better in a centralized location like what you did here.
