Subject: [PATCH] ROSE: prevent heap corruption with bad facilities

When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, keeping the
counter field in an unsigned char is insufficient, since the counter is
incremented by AX25_ADDR_LEN (7) with each loop.  Providing a field
length of 0xf, for example, causes heap corruption because the counter
wraps without ever reaching the length and data is copied past the
boundaries of the source_digis or dest_digis facilities arrays.  Change
the counter to an unsigned ints to prevent this wrapping and overflow.

Additionally, when parsing the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and
FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP facilities fields, a length of less than 10 results
in an underflow in a memcpy size, resulting in a kernel panic due to
massive heap corruption.  Abort facilities parsing on this invalid
length value.
