SubjectRe: [PATCH] ipv4: tcp_input: fix stack out of bounds when parsing TCP options.
Indeed, condition opsize < 2 and opsize > length can deduce that length >= 2.
However, before the condition (if opsize < 2), there may be one-byte
out-of-bound access in line 12.
I'm not sure whether I have put it very clearly.
