Two potential heap out-of-bounds write locations existed in DecodeObjectId() in wolfcrypt/src/asn.c. First, a bounds check only validates one available slot before writing two OID arc values (out[0] and out[1]), enabling a 2-byte out-of-bounds write when outSz equals 1.

Bug 1 (off-by-one) affects any code calling DecodeObjectId() with an output buffer of size 1. Bug 2 (sizeof mismatch) is reachable via network when wolfSSL is compiled with HAVE_OID_DECODING or WOLFSSL_ASN_PRINT, and WC_ASN_UNKNOWN_EXT_CB is enabled with a registered unknown extension callback.
