You can't dereference "dh" before you know there is even
space past offset "iph->ihl << 2".  Yet that is what doing
an unconditional __dccp_basic_hdr_len() call here is going
to do.

The ipv6 patch has the same bug.

The test probably needs to be something like:

	if (skb->len < (iph->ihl << 2) + sizeof(*dh) ||
	    skb->len < (iph->ihl << 2) + __dccp_basic_hdr_len(dh))

in order to make the tests safely.
