The Add Advertising command handler does the appropriate checks for the AD and Scan Response data, however fails to take into account the general length of the mgmt command itself, which could lead to potential buffer overflows. This patch adds the necessary check that the mgmt command length is consistent with the given ad and scan_rsp lengths.
