When reading strings, the generated *_validate functions do not check if the buffer has space for the length field. It seems that this can lead to an assert when decoding a message. The generated function __qmi_message_dms_set_firmware_preference_request_create() calls qmi_utils_write_string_to_buffer() in a loop. It is not immediately obvious why the statically allocated target buffer has sufficient storage space for all those strings. In other cases, only a single PASCAL string is written to a buffer which has slightly less than 1024 bytes, which should be okay. I don't know where the data comes from and if an untrusted source might trigger crashes this way, hence the private bug.
