From: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Michael M. Builov reported that in the tcp_options and tcp_sack functions of netfilter TCP conntrack the incorrect handling of invalid TCP option with too big opsize may lead to read access beyond tcp-packet or buffer allocated on stack (netfilter bugzilla #738). The fix is to stop parsing the options at detecting the broken option.
