This isn’t correct. The bounds check is correct for the following memcpy().
The problem is the LZ4_readLE16() on line 285 [1].

Yeah, this is not the correct fix. `ip + length > iend` is correct for the
memcpy(). You would instead need to add another check after the
memcpy(). E.g. something like this, taken from upstream [2].

```

			LZ4_memmove(op, ip, length);
			ip += length;
			op += length;

			/* Necessarily EOF, due to parsing restrictions */
-			if (!partialDecoding || (cpy == oend))
+			if (!partialDecoding || (cpy == oend) || (ip >= (iend-2)))
				break;
```

This should be enough to fix the out of bounds read you reported.
However, I can’t guarantee that this will fix all the issues that have been
fixed upstream since v1.8.3.

The safest and most robust course of action would be to update the version
of LZ4 in the kernel to the latest upstream, which is continuously fuzzed, and
doesn't have this issue.

Best,
