From: Yun Zhou <yun.zhou@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d3b16034a24a112bb83aeb669ac5b9b01f744bb7 upstream. There's two variables being increased in that loop (i and j), and i follows the raw data, and j follows what is being written into the buffer. We should compare 'i' to MAX_MEMHEX_BYTES or compare 'j' to HEX_CHARS. Otherwise, if 'j' goes bigger than HEX_CHARS, it will overflow the destination buffer.
