Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: RFCOMM: validate skb length in MCC handlers

The RFCOMM MCC handlers cast skb->data to protocol-specific structs
without validating skb->len first. A malicious remote device can send
truncated MCC frames and trigger out-of-bounds reads in these handlers.

Fix this by using skb_pull_data() to validate and access the required
data before dereferencing it.

rfcomm_recv_rpn() requires special handling since ETSI TS 07.10 allows
1-byte RPN requests. Handle this by validating only the DLCI byte first,
and validating the full struct only when len > 1.
