    Fixed in 7.0.0-38.38.1
  67. Compensating control

    In the TLV_TYPE_NVM branch of qca_tlv_check_data(), replace the loop bound `while (idx < length - sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm))` with `idx + sizeof(struct tlv_type_nvm) <= length` so a firmware-supplied length smaller than the 12-byte record skips the loop and prevents out-of-bounds reads and writes.
