While reading about IP options, I found the IPOPT_END padding (cleaning) in ip_options_compile (net/ipv4/ip_options.c) was not incrementing a pointer. There should be an optptr++ in the for end-of-block statement to go along with the l--, otherwise it's just comparing the same byte for each l. Patch is against 2.4.19. From the kernel source browser this bug is also in 2.5.31, 2.2.21, and 2.0.39.
Thanks a lot for spotting this, I will add this to my 2.4.x and 2.5.x trees and merge upstream. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
