AI review found something likely relevant here:

"""
Can this cause an integer underflow?  When 'length' (read from the data)
is greater than the remaining 'len', the subtraction 'len -= length' will
wrap the u32 to a very large value, causing out-of-bounds memory access.

Compare with quic_data_to_string() which validates: 'len < length'.

The same issue exists in quic_data_match() below.
