* src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlMonitorCommand): Validate that enough
bytes were read to dereference both res.length, and that many
bytes from res.data.
Reported by Soren Hansen.

Whoops; this is a resend of an unrelated issue, but it is still
sitting on my tree, and the original email has no review yet,
perhaps because it was in a reply to a longish thread.

You could reverse the order to
nbytes < offsetof(struct monitor_request, data) + res.length
to be in line with the layout of the data, but that's just me nit-picking here.
ACK.
