Since fdt_next_tag() in a public API function all input parameters,
including the fdt blob should not be trusted. It is possible to forge
a blob with invalid property length that will cause integer overflow
during offset calculation. To prevent that, validate the property length
read from the blob before doing calculations.

v2:
* Use len local variable to avoid multiple calls to fdt32_to_cpu(*lenp)
* Add can_assume(VALID_DTB) to the new checks

Thanks for feedback. I will change the logic to only work on unsigned
integers. I will also update the unit tests according to your suggestions.
