iu_client: reject oversized RANAP NAS-PDU
The connection-oriented RANAP handlers ranap_handle_co_initial_ue() and ranap_handle_co_dt() copy the attacker-controlled NAS-PDU into a msgb allocated with a fixed 256 bytes. RANAP NAS-PDU is an unconstrained OCTET STRING, so the APER decoder accepts an arbitrarily large PDU; when nas_pdu.size exceeds the msgb tailroom, msgb_put() hits MSGB_ABORT and osmo_panic()s the process (MSGB_DEBUG is compiled in unconditionally), which a femtocell (HNB) peer can use to crash osmo-hnbgw / osmo-hnodeb by sending an InitialUE or DirectTransfer with a NAS-PDU > 256 bytes.
Validate nas_pdu.size against the msgb tailroom and drop the message gracefully instead of panicking.
This issue has been assigned the CVE candidate identifier CAN-2026-2051037.
