OSS-fuzz has reported a potential out-of-bounds read when processing a
"ng" smart packet:

When parsing an "ng" packet, we keep track of both the current position
as well as the remaining length of the packet itself. But instead of
taking care not to exceed the length, we pass the current pointer's
position to strchr, which will search for a certain character until
hitting NUL. It is thus possible to create a crafted packet which
doesn't contain a NUL byte to trigger an out-of-bounds read.

Fix the issue by instead using memchr, passing the remaining length as
restriction. Furthermore, verify that we actually have enough bytes left
to produce a match at all.
