3.2.92-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6399f1fae4ec29fab5ec76070435555e256ca3a6 upstream. 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.
