From 1efa6bbac876318ebf6f3a757f18e7d9ebe02dd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Renker Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:28:27 +0200 Subject: dccp: Silently ignore options with nonsensical lengths This updates the option-parsing code with regard to RFC 4340, 5.8: "[..] options with nonsensical lengths (length byte less than two or more than the remaining space in the options portion of the header) MUST be ignored, and any option space following an option with nonsensical length MUST likewise be ignored." Hence in the following cases erratic options will be ignored: 1. The type byte of a multi-byte option is the last byte of the header options (i.e. effective option length of 1). 2. The value of the length byte is less than the minimum 2. This has been changed from previously 3: although no multi-byte option with a length less than 3 yet exists (cf. table 3 in 5.8), a length of 2 is valid. (The switch-statement in dccp_parse has further per-option length checks.) 3. The option length exceeds the length of the remaining option space.
