Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: validate packet_len before skb_put_data
btintel_pcie_submit_rx_work() reads packet_len from rfh_hdr without
checking if it exceeds the RX buffer size. An oversized packet_len
can lead to an out-of-bounds read in skb_put_data().
Validate packet_len to ensure it is non-zero and does not exceed
BTINTEL_PCIE_BUFFER_SIZE - sizeof(*rfh_hdr), logging an error when
invalid.
This issue was reported by Claude Mythos. It can be simulated either by
using customized firmware configured to return an invalid packet_len or
by modifying rfh_hdr->packet_len in the driver before calling
btintel_pcie_submit_rx_work().
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
