I can see that the size might cause an overflow in the addition with sizeof(struct ipt_get_entries), but that would most likely cause a mismatch with the actual table size and get aborted (should be fixed anyways I guess). But I fail to find the overflow you're trying to prevent, which I guess would be the result of a multiplication.
Please point me to the specific line in question. Thanks :)
