So: tcp: Validate length of data before dereference in tcp_parse_options(). and then you can make the commit message just be your signoff. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
