This code is full of buffer overruns and uninitialised reads in the
presence of malicious files, and fails to check the version, vendor and
sub-subsection tag.

You also should handle more than one sub-subsection even if tools don’t
emit it today.

You also have an unaligned access for reading the sub-subsection’s data
length (maybe that’s ok in kernel land, but worth making sure).
