3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stefan Nuernberger <snu@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 076ed3da0c9b2f88d9157dbe7044a45641ae369e upstream. commit 40413955ee26 ("Cipso: cipso_v4_optptr enter infinite loop") fixed a possible infinite loop in the IP option parsing of CIPSO. The fix assumes that ip_options_compile filtered out all zero length options and that no other one-byte options beside IPOPT_END and IPOPT_NOOP exist. While this assumption currently holds true, add explicit checks for zero length and invalid length options to be safe for the future. Even though ip_options_compile should have validated the options, the introduction of new one-byte options can still confuse this code without the additional checks.
