### Description

Buffer overflow.  `memcpy` was used without checking the size of the buffer
before copying to it.  Additionally, a logic flaw was causing the wrong buffer
to be used as the destination for the copy under certain circumstances.

### Mitigation

Correct the logic to select the correct buffer, and add bounds checking to
prevent malformed messages causing a buffer overflow.
