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 :)
