Subject: ipv6: avoid overflow of offset in ip6_find_1stfragopt
From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 6399f1fae4ec29fab5ec76070435555e256ca3a6 ]
In some cases, offset can overflow and can cause an infinite loop in
ip6_find_1stfragopt(). Make it unsigned int to prevent the overflow, and
cap it at IPV6_MAXPLEN, since packets larger than that should be invalid.
This problem has been here since before the beginning of git history.
