Missing minimum size validation: The ep11_cprb structure and\n   subsequent payload fields (pld_tag, pld_lenfmt) are copied from\n   userspace without verifying sufficient buffer length.\n2. Arithmetic overflow in length calculations: CEIL4 alignment could\n   overflow, bypassing size checks and enabling buffer overflows.\n3. The payload is asn1 encoded but the function just uses a simple c\n   struct overlay to access some fields of the payload.\n\nFix by using size_t for length calculations, adding U32_MAX boundary\nchecks after alignment, and validating minimum request size and\nminimum reply size before copying from userspace. Do a very simple\nasn1 parsing of the payload up to the function value field."
