[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 4/5] app/testpmd: fix hex string parser in flow commands

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo@nvidia.com>]

The hexadecimal string parser does not check the target
field buffer size, buffer overflow happens and might
cause the application failure (segmentation fault
is observed usually).

Fixes: 169a9fed1f4c ("app/testpmd: fix hex string parser support for flow API")
