The byte\nis uninitialized or stale; if it contains an ASCII digit, simple_strtoul\nwill consume it and produce a wrong DCC IP or port in the conntrack\nexpectation.  The extra allocation byte is also a fragile guard: if the\ncap or allocation size changes, this becomes a real out-of-bounds read.\n\nChange the loop and its post-loop check to use strict less-than,\nconsistent with the caller's exclusive-end convention.  Update the\nfunction comment accordingly.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-28T06:48:29.158+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-16T19:26:30.043+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
