From: Jamin Lin <jamin_...@aspeedtech.com> The maximum padding size is either 64 or 128 bytes and should always be smaller than "req_len". If "padding_size" exceeds "req_len", then "req_len - padding_size" underflows due to "uint32_t" data type, leading to a large incorrect value (e.g., `0xFFXXXXXX`). This causes an out-of-bounds memory access, potentially leading to a buffer overflow.
Added a check to ensure "padding_size" does not exceed "req_len" before computing "pad_offset". This prevents "req_len - padding_size" from underflowing and avoids accessing invalid memory.
