Summary of changes

hciTrSerialRxIncoming parses incoming hci packets. It takes two bytes from the packet header and tries to allocate a buffer based on the packet size contained in those bytes. There is no logic to account for the case of an allocate failing. If WSF_ASSERT is not enabled (it isn't by default), the packet isn't dropped either.

This means that the function will stay in it's HCI_RX_STATE_HEADER state for longer than intended. Because every iteration of the loop writes another byte to hdrRx and the intended exit condition for this state has been passed, it will continue writing to hdrRx past it's bounds, causing a buffer overflow.

This fix handles the failed allocation by resetting the parser and exiting the function, similar to #374.
