+// Block (NTB), i.e. host-controlled bytes off the OUT endpoint, straight into
+// recv_validate_datagram() which is the function that decides whether an
+// incoming NTB is well formed before the driver walks its datagram array.
+//
+// recv_validate_datagram() is static, so the driver is pulled in by #include so
+// the harness can reach it. The referenced usbd/glue symbols are stubbed below;
+// none of them are exercised by the validation path.
+//
+// The seed in net_ncm_seed_corpus.zip crafts an NTB whose first NDP carries a
+// wLength of 0xfff0 while the transfer itself is only 64 bytes. Before the
+// wNdpIndex + wLength bound was added, max_ndx was derived from that wLength and
+// the ndp16_datagram[] walk ran tens of kB past ntb->data (a 3200 byte buffer);
+// this reproduces that out-of-bounds read under -fsanitize=address.
