uh, yes, that's a typical buffer overflow pattern there, unguarded <br>
copying of a string contents to a fixed size buffer:<br>

Not sure why/if the handlers need an uint8_t array in the first place, <br>
but a quick first fix should be to adjust MAX_POLL_DATA_LEN:<br>
<br>

Add some spare room to the 329 bytes needed, just in case.<br>
