[PATCH] net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to nframes bounds check

From: tobgaertner <hidden>

From: Tobi Gaertner <redacted>

cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp16() and cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp32() validate that
the NDP header and its DPE entries fit within the skb. The first check
correctly accounts for ndpoffset:

  if ((ndpoffset + sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16)) > skb_in->len)

but the second check omits it:

  if ((sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16) +
       ret * (sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_dpe16))) > skb_in->len)

This validates the DPE array size against the total skb length as if
the NDP were at offset 0, rather than at ndpoffset. When the NDP is
placed near the end of the NTB (large wNdpIndex), the DPE entries can
extend past the skb data buffer even though the check passes.
cdc_ncm_rx_fixup() then reads out-of-bounds memory when iterating
the DPE array.

Add ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check in both the NDP16 and NDP32
verification functions.

Found by coverage-guided fuzzing with QEMU system-mode emulation.
