[ Upstream commit 875115b82c295277b81b6dfee7debc725f44e854 ]

The `ims_pcu_process_data()` processes incoming URB data byte by byte.
However, it fails to check if the `read_pos` index exceeds
IMS_PCU_BUF_SIZE.

If a malicious USB device sends a packet larger than IMS_PCU_BUF_SIZE,
`read_pos` will increment indefinitely. Moreover, since `read_pos` is
located immediately after `read_buf`, the attacker can overwrite
`read_pos` itself to arbitrarily control the index.

This manipulated `read_pos` is subsequently used in
`ims_pcu_handle_response()` to copy data into `cmd_buf`, leading to a
heap buffer overflow.

Specifically, an attacker can overwrite the `cmd_done.wait.head` located
at offset 136 relative to `cmd_buf` in the `ims_pcu_handle_response()`.
Consequently, when the driver calls `complete(&pcu->cmd_done)`, it
triggers a control flow hijack by using the manipulated pointer.

Fix this by adding a bounds check for `read_pos` before writing to
`read_buf`. If the packet is too long, discard it, log a warning,
and reset the parser state.
