Summary

### Summary OBI's log enricher mishandles `writev` buffers by reading only the first `iovec` entry but using the total `iov_iter.count` as the copy length. When log injection is enabled, a crafted multi-segment `writev` call can make OBI read and overwrite memory beyond the first segment. ### Details In…
