Subject[patch 12/73] IPV4 raw: Strengthen check on validity of iph->ihl
2.6.23-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
[IPV4] raw: Strengthen check on validity of iph->ihl

[ Upstream commit: f844c74fe07321953e2dd227fe35280075f18f60 ]

We currently check that iph->ihl is bounded by the real length and that
the real length is greater than the minimum IP header length.  However,
we did not check the caes where iph->ihl is less than the minimum IP
header length.

This breaks because some ip_fast_csum implementations assume that which
is quite reasonable.
