In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: llcp: fix WKS SAP hijacking via prefix match in nfc_llcp_wks_sap()

nfc_llcp_wks_sap() compares only service_name_len bytes, so a short
service_name like "u" matches longer WKS strings like "urn:nfc:sn:snep".
Fix by requiring exact length match before strncmp().
