Break if fewer than sizeof(*pIE) bytes remain (can't read header).\n  2. Break if the IE's declared data extends past len.\n\nAlso replace i += (pIE->length + 2) with i += sizeof(*pIE) + pIE->length\nfor consistency with the sizeof(*pIE) guards added above.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-07-25T08:51:15.234+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T20:38:29.673+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
